Why does my blog world have to be so seperate from my day-to-day calendar?   Why cant Scott or any other blog provider actually integrate these things?

Oh yeah, also make it accessible via a wireless interface, have it tie into an address book, and email (a slick spam filter mechanism) via IMAP, SMTP, POP3; maybe an RSS reader too; keep track of my RSS subscriptions, what Ive read, what Ive saved, etc.. allow me to import/export via OPML.  Allow me to import RSS directly into my calendar also..Oh, what about weather/sports/holidays/other calendar data too, that would be nifty.

Cant forget about my Palm (or any other offline device).  Allow me to synch (both ways) it all.

Oh yeah, make it damn extensible.  So if I want to plug my own stuff into it I could. 

Lastly, make the UI actually useable.  No damn Start menu.

Anyone?

  haha, wow. I'd imagine that would take a little time. Good ideas, though.

  Sounds a lot like Outlook - on the web.

  Good point...
  
  Do you know if the outlook web access stuff has the ability to handle mobile browsers and remote synch capabilities. Does it also require Exchange server and all of its overhead/headaches?
  
  I guess one would need to integrate the Journal (?) posting/reading with a public weblog.
