Agreed, and it doesn't ever hurt to reaggregate stuff either.

One thing I would like to see, and which I mentioned to Seth Vidal at
FUDCon in Raleigh in January, was a way for us to offer blogs as a
service to our account holders.

The HTTPS work that Frank has done was probably a key action in making
that possible, but I'm not sure exactly how close that gets us.

It wouldn't be too hard for us to act as an OpenID provider for our
account holders either, which is another nice way of advertising and
pushing open standards.
