Posting comments on blogs via a library
Is there a standard in place for posting comments on blogs? Like I know there are "trackbacks" and "pingbacks" etc. but if I wanted to create a library that posts to blogs (if said blog has such a technology enabled), how would I go about it? Is it impossible? Good idea? Bad idea?
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, with cooperation from the blog scripts/owners. I think that's a fantastic idea!
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

It seems like you should be able to simply POST to the blog with appropriate data fields. As long as they accept the post, you just need to identify the blog platform and change your keys accordingly.
Your biggest problem will be defeating anti-spam stuff. Maybe that's why there's no machine-accessible comment interface?
