One-stop forum manager

A program that would manage all the forums you visit. You could select a forum from a list, and the program would go behind the scenes to get the new posts, etc. from that forum. You could also make new posts through this one program, etc.

So anyway, the point is that you would be able to access all online message boards in one place without having to separately go to each site. Does anyone like this idea.

However the forums themselves would have to implement some sort of common interface that this program could access to get posts, to make new posts, to login etc., otherwise the app would have to use screen-reading hacks to do it.

IDK I'm quite tired right now and can't really express myself properly in English but if anyone follows what I'm saying let me know if you like the idea.

I can't actually implement this app (I'm focused on my iTunes replacement project among "real life" responsibilities, like school, sleep, food), but I may implement it later. Even if not, I thought it was a good idea.
