Like you, I am a big fan of Bloglines and have been using it for quite some time now (since August 2003 I think). Also like you, I tried Kinja but abandoned it because it didn't include news feeds. Unlike you, I am a blaudience rather than a blog writer (although I have flirted with Blogger as a way to manage a blogroll and save links to good articles). Recently I started using Furl to keep track of links to articles. Furl allows a user to save and comment on links they like. On the front page it also displays the number of reads your links get. It was fascinating to me how I instantly yearned to get lots of reads (from people I didn’t even know)! I can at Furl also subscribe to other people’s archives and comment on their links. Reading your article got me thinking and I discovered that I could also subscribe to my own archive feed on Bloglines. I did this as a sort of proof of concept. The interesting thing is that it also displays my comments on the links so effectively I am publishing without a blog and potentially creating that connection you see Kinja could become). Both services (Bloglines and Furl) allow others to view your subscriptions and archives with simple urls. And probably other link services and aggregrators also allow that so it is not necessarily true that these are the best or anything (not really an endorsement of them if you will). But the potential for these applications is almost there in all of these. There is a killer application in here somewhere by putting these together in a friendly, quick and accessible form.
