Everybody interested sets up a blog node. Blog nodes discover each other through discovery servers.
Every blog node owner can subscribe to other blog nodes, and replicates the data he/she wants. Fido-like, bittorrent-like replication mechanism may make it pretty fast.
Aggregation/syndication/mirror servers provide general public access to blogs. Discovery servers may help point to the best mirror.
Which part of this technology is hard to implement?
What kind of abuse team can exist that would be responsible for each blog node?
Say, you are daring enough to deploy child pornography and dirty bomb recipe, whatever. It is exclusively your business and responsibility. If other nodes/mirrors do not aggregate or syndicate your source - it is their business.
As I understand, this technology would lead to the growth of huge syndication sites, and to virtual disappearance of smaller sites. But not to full disappearance. And since anybody would be able to set up a node and sign up to what he/she likes, it would be impossible to "unplug" any imaginable thought criminal.
Should we care about thought criminals? I think we should.
