A different point of view: why blogging (witch is not that anyway)? Normally is for telling something to a public. Now arrive the visibility issue: if to have a public you need constantly publishing or you are a media company or your quality at a certain point in time decrease and you just enter the common "sci-pattern" of publish-or-perish, with equal results: a big load of crap who hide the little quality that still exists. RSS help because allow the public to follow rare-posting inconstant sources issueless: if you select not too few nor too many you get daily content around the desired quantity still noticing any new content from the sources you like.
At that point arrive the discoverability problem: how to find good contents.
IMVHO the sole way is the classic Usenet: a public aggregator no one really own of cohorts of people with similar interests (groups) BUT not limiting them to any particular cohort (subscribe groups you like at Reddit we divide users by, at Facebook by, ...) because those groups are formed out of their posters for their poster interests NOT for some corporate/business purpose.
Essentially: the classic usenet + the classic web 1.0. The web part is just a way to see content and decide, RSS is the mean to read it once selected, ngs to follow changes. Anything else I know/see is by large far less effective.
