Oh, one other thing -- each object in the list which makes up a member's
personal channel should have a flag saying whether it's private or public
(decided by the user).  You might want to collate and read information from,
say, 10 different channel sources, but only to republish, say, 5 of those --
or zero of them, and select items for inclusion manually only when something
really stands out.

Wait -- maybe instead of individual objects in the list having the flag on
an object-by-object basis, maybe the lists themselves should have a list-
global flag.  That way, instead of each member having a single channel with
some of the items being private and others being public, each member has any
number (that they want) of channels (arbitrarily named?), and each of these
channels is either totally private or totally public.  Each person would then
start out with one public and one private channel by default.  I wonder if
this could even be integrated with a guestbook feature as a freebie?

(...) oh. What on earth do personal channels (or weblogs, for that matter) have to do with guestbooks? Well, they're almost exactly the same thing. The only difference, other than the minutiae of formatting, is who can read entries and who can write (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Taking this RSS/Channels thing a step further, here's a related possibility which applies the RSS suggestion to a more general problem domain: First, I'd like to scrap the current Spotlight (after a one-time data conversion to a new format, (...)
