LiveTopics and K-Collector

I want k-collector and liveTopics to get married. Mathemagenic wants this too:

At the end my main point is simple: I believe k-collector has more chances to be used if it offers more to endusers. Personally I'd like to have an opportunity to switch between "all weblogs" and "my own weblog" views :)

Right! k-collector indexes the group the way liveTopics indexed the individual. Now that I'm part of the group, I am lost within the boundaries of my own weblog (k-collector and liveTopics cannot be installed together, to join k-collector you have to abandon liveTopics, sniff sniff). Wouldn't it be great if they were joined together as one?

I imagine this: tagging a post with topics "km, "San Francisco", "writing". Of those keywords, designate some as shared and others solo. The post would appear in the k-collector pool under the shared topic "km", but not the solos "San Francisco", "writing". All topics would index the posts for greater structure and access within the home domain.
