hey Ryan,
Yeah, I've actually been working on what I was calling a feed blog, but instead of it living in memory it would actually replicate the items from an RSS feed into either an existing blog or a standalone blog. My use case was at work, on our intranet, where we have multiple people that have external blogs (myself, Dawn, etc..) and a lot of our posts externally probably would be valuable internally as well. In my model, you'd specify a feed (or multiple feeds) that you wanted to periodically poll and also a list of include tags and exclude tags (include a post if it's tagged with any of the include tags, exclude a post if it's tagged with one of the exclude tags) and then it would actually post the blog post to a Clearspace blog, which means then you get comments, etc... It might also make sense to have these posts have a notification at the bottom saying that they were originally posted somewhere else. Another reason to have this kind of functionality is that you could have technorati feed searches automatically posted as blog items to a blog, competitors blog posts automatically posted to a blog, etc.. So yeah... I think it's a great idea. 
Cheers,
AJ
