We need a raft

By far the most interesting and insightful thing I've read about SUP and LiveJournal.

Summary: we should start building a raft.

Bingo. The killer feature of lj is the ability to authenticate and authorise people we know, because they're already all on lj. I guess what I really want is selective, encrypted RSS.

Obvious social problem that springs to mind: I'm imagining getting access to someone's locked posts and having client software that promptly downloads the entire collection of locked posts. These then becoming precious nuggets of information that are hoarded simply because they're locked. The evolutionary response would be blogs with locked posts that disappear after a set time so they can't be downloaded in a lump going back years.

"encrypted" is an optional extra - I'd settle for the same level of security that LJ gives me.
