I think a better idea is a "funnel blog", where the community rates articles.

Your feed always consists of current top-rated articles so far PLUS "random" submitted articles for you to rate. Those community ratings cause articles to bubble-up to the top for more users.

Slashdot and reddit kind of implement that on a large scale but it would be great if a ratings funnel was a built-in feature of smaller blogs, podcasts players, etc.
