Turning News Aggregators into News Distributors

Although I travel in the wide open realm of ideas, I am not into impractical ideas no matter how attractive they may be.  My excuse for wasting my time with impractical ideas is that they tend to be stepstones to practical ones.  Anyhow, here is one I thought could be of immediate use to the blogosphere.

The idea is to turn all those news aggregator clients out there into news distributors.  So all the RSS files I download every morning is also made available to others.  Whether sharing of RSS files and resources is done through a variation of BitTorrents, blogosphere-specific P2P network, or existing P2P networks is irrelevant as long as the sharing is done by those who can.

I know this is probably not a new idea, but I am peddling it here because I believe this must be done if blogosphere is to continue growing.  At some point, distribution of load across news aggregators must be discussed but that's a post topic for the future.  For now, enthusiasm for something new is enough to power this effort.
