The Bloglines team came here to talk on, of course, news aggregators!

It’s not just ideas in any product, but also execution on those ideas. Don’t do everything, do some things and do them well. Basic product development ideas. You’ll always have strays who ask for crazy things, and you’ll have crazy ideas too. It’s deciding what bits and pieces will be big and useful and easy.

Question: What are the next big ideas?

• Open access of full demographics: (age, location) for readers so people can build upon them ex. add a map to the readership to get what’s hot by location
• Existence cleaner: erase or mass modify all or part of your online profile
• Add context and relevance to blog posts (through blogosphere analysis of like content) [Winner]
• Feed bundler for user & publisher to spit out only one feed from many input feeds. Subscribe to a person not a person’s X, Y, Z
• Add more social components to the feed readers: add social components to engage the readers (versus them remaining solely on the site – where does the community reside, issues of monetization)
• Digg elements
• Content based clustering
• CC License info
• Rate blogs (not just posts)
• Social network management
• Tag subscription from within our existing network of friends: smart filtering
• My addition: an ego feed with my own posts filtered out

These are audience ideas, and the ‘best big idea’ wins a giant bottle of wine.
