You can see what it looks like on my site at http://www.wc.cc.va.us/facstaff/Strikes me that this could be an ideal application for all these weblogs. I suspect that userland.com doesn't have the performance/bandwidth yet to support it, but if it did, it could be a central brokering point for sites sharing content.
Not sure what the business model is, since typically the links on a weblog are not to the weblog site, but to somewhere else (it would be hard to count clicks since the linked sites aren't signed up)
