Will Richardson reports on the BlogPulse Conversation Tracker, a system that combines discrete weblog posts into a coherent conversation. Here, for example, is a somewhat disjointed conversation arising out of BloggerCon. Or another one on the Kryptonite bike lock saga. There's still a lot of disconnect - bloggers don't link to each other explicitly as much as you might think. But the concept is sound and should form the basis for some novel distributed content readers.
