I still have trouble visualizing some of these interBlogatary referential rolling efforts, but I'm learning to trust a few of these Radio guys. We'll see where this one goes.

TopicRolling 101.
A feature that I have planned for the next release of liveTopics (the finishing touches go on the 1.0 release this week, for definite) is the topicRoll.
In the same way as a blogroll represents your subscription to other what other people are writing, the topicRoll represents your subscription to what other people are writing about -- their topics.
Whenever you add a topic to a post it is added to your topicRoll and (optionally) published automatically to your weblog. In turn you can subscribe to as many other topicRolls as you like. This means that as soon as someone uses a new topic, it is automatically added to the topics that your copy of liveTopics has ready for you to use. In the same way other users can see & re-use the topics you are using.
When combined with the idea of topicMiner (also due in version 1.5) this will allow you to thread together existing archived discussions in a completely new way. Mining topics allows you to find existing topics in archived posts. You will be able to mine other peoples topics from your own posts and vice verca.
I'm hoping this will enable some interesting cross-blog exchanges. [Curiouser and curiouser!]
