What would be interesting (technical feasibility aside) would be a community aggregator spin on a RSS feed. Let me use an RSS feed as normal but expose all the different communities on top of that as additional data.
To me Facebook is all kid pictures and life hacks posting, interesting only when I want to see what my family is up to.
Reddit/HN are interesting for:
a.) Posts I haven't seen before, and
b.) Comments
RSS solves neither, but it provides frequent updates for sites I'm interested in, which is a non-goal for reddit/HN. There's an interesting intersection between the two (RSS & social sites) in the comments. Why can't I see what other people have said about a story in my RSS feed?
I wouldn't be surprised if this hasn't be done before, but I haven't seen any RSS application/site do this.
