Quickie Idea: Crowdsource Typo-Correction on Blogs

Here’s what it looks like:

Visitor notices a typo in a blog post. Luckily, there is a “correct typo” button, probably near the “comment” button. She clicks it. She sees the same “edit post” interface as I do when I edit posts. Or, better yet, Ajax magic is employed to turn the body of the post into a stylized textarea, so that the user doesn’t have to translate the position of the error in the rendered post into the position of the error in a marked-up text. Either way, one captcha and one “submit” later, I get an email that includes the output of a diff on the post and the updated post that the user submitted (in other words, i’m told specifically what was changed). I can either click a link to approve or submit the change in my web browser, or i can simply reply to the message with “yes” or “no.”

Someone write this wordpress extension now plz. kthxbai.
