Ideas
Context - a narrative idea for a backstage app
Context is my take on how making the pages of our site into a personal publishing system could work.
As with many of my ideas, I tend to start out by composing a narrative of how I would see it working.
In the case of this idea - it's as far as I got.
What would I do if I had the time and money?
I'd get access to a chunk of server, find someone who likes scraping web pages and spend some time learning ebough JSON or AJAX to make the front-end smooth enough that users wouldn't feel interupted by using it.
And yes, it's a shockingly bad name but I'm stuck on anything else right now, so I'd change that as well...

Nice idea! - just get the price of wireless access - (cellular, wifi-ish, meshy etc) to be reasonable and I'm with you.
Syndicated, community chunk based re-syndication is a very interesting concept. Small parts losely joined and remixed.
I highly recommend you listen to some podcasts from the O'Reily eTech 2005 conference. Just Google it.
