I just had a cool idea, when emailing a friend, (and I mean literally *Just*. I emailed out to him a quick distillation of my thoughts, hit send, and then thought "I have to blog this!"), so I thought I would put it here.
I have a history here of pontificating, ruminating, on Web 2.0, blogging, and spirituality. And there have been all types of implementations.
Many times, I've thought to setup a SCOOP style site - for either Skillful Means posts, or for Integral posts.
However, at this point, Zaadz - which already has a bunch of other features that a SCOOP site wouldn't have - needs to do TWO things - and then there the NEED for a SCOOP style site, is made completely superfluous.
Ability to search blogs by tags (does Zaadz already have this?), and then ability to RATE a blogpost.
Most of my blogposts are mediocre. I accept that.
BUT
Some of my blogposts are excellent!!
I know that is true as well.
If people can RATE a blogpost, and you can lookup a blogpost based on recommendations, ratings, and taggings - well, then why do you need a SCOOP site? You already have the functionality that, say, DailyKos is so useful for, right?
So - how is that coming!?

cool ideas. right now, there's no obvious interface yet, but you can certainly search blogs via tags using good ole URL. examples:
http://www.zaadz.com/blogs/tags/buddha
(just replace “buddha” with whatever)
http://www.zaadz.com/blogs/tags/very+fluffy
(just replace very+fluffy with keywords using + for space)
rating blog posts is cool while bookmarking them. but why stop with blogs? why not have the ability to rate and mark anything as your favorite and automatically bookmark them? of course they will also be automagically classified accordlingly like blogs, photos, profiles, pods, pod threads, etc.
your suggestions are coming soon :) keep hanging in there and keep pitching those wishlist :)
