This is not so new, the University of Minnesota is providing such an platform, UThink, since 2004. (Cf. http://log.netbib.de/archives/2005/05/09/weblogs-fur-alle-an-bibliotheken-in-minnesota/and http://blog.lib.umn.edu/) From my point of view, we have another, more challenging and perhaps more important step to go. We have to encourage people to build their own personal learning environment (PLE), respectively personal writing/publishing environments. Those environments can then be loosely coupled with existing building blocks like feed aggregators (Planet, Gregarius etc.) Have a look at Planet York (http://planetyork.yorku.ca).
