I wish I had the equivalent of threads for my own blog... there's something uniquely interesting about a publishing medium that produces a chronological record of the way you explored a specific thought

A thread is almost like a mini-blog for evolving one very specific idea over time

The biggest design challenge is deciding what to do with threads that might have new notes added to them for months or even years - how does that play into a most-recent-posts on the homepage and at top of RSS feed blogging platform?
@simon
1. when adding a note to a thread have a checkbox (default:off) to indicate if it is a note worth adding to the main rss feed
2. When a note from a thread is added to the rss feed it also includes a little automatically generated info about the context.
(I’ve done similar on a few wiki like systems)
