Robin Good has an in-depth review of BlogBridge, yet another entry in the crowded aggregator field. BlogBridge has some interesting features and philosophies, e.g. the hybrid Web/desktop strategy and focus on late adopting non-technical users. Obviously out of my demo, but I wish them good luck.
Meanwhile, in an extended interview with the developers of BlogBridge, Good gets to make some suggestions regarding the direction the product should go. He pushes on his idea of a Personal Media Aggregator, which has a lot of good ideas but suffers from a bit of feature creep IMHO. Also, a "walled self-contained communication structure" is a pipe dream these days, but maybe I'm reading this aspect incorrectly.
But as one who putters about thinking on aggregation, I'll have to dig into Good's missives a bit more.
Aside, BlogBridge is supposed to be GPLed, but how does that square with part of it being a Web hosted service?
