oppose. people who write independently will have a blog with a followable domain. people who don't write independently should be considered in the context of their institution.

and, as others have mentioned, the lack of standardized nomenclature will make this a big hassle

Freelancers generally don't own the rights to their material and so they wouldn't be able to host their pieces on their blogs, though they might link to the publications they sold their writing to through their blogs.

Hm. Is this true? Jullian Assange has written for a number of publications. I don't think they can all be found on one site. Even if they could, I might want to follow any Hubski posts about his writing, which is a separate thing.
