Blogger together with comment threads on Google+ (which could be embedded in more places than just Blogger) were supposed to be the magic elixer between personal sites and a feed that promotes discoverability.

Sometimes I think Google has killed G+ just as there was a reason to give it a second look, but I suppose they know how unlikely is a revival of G+. They have got a successful social network in the form of YouTube, even though YouTube comment threads often make Facebook look like the Promised Land.
