Lotusphere finally got a constant online community but now annual aggregators? #ls12

After years of many of us stating loudly that the Lotusphere sites needed to be a living community that never went away, it finally happened after the 2011 event and we were graced with a billion communities made around each session and a main area. For years the Lotusphere site would be raised from the ashes and then destroyed over and over.
So with the push into social business, IBM built a webpage service that aggregates some of the Lotusphere information. What I found interesting is that the aggregation is not consistent from year to year now. It seems they built a new one for the Lotusphere 2012 aggregation around the #ls12 and #ibmsocialbiz hashtags. There was a different site for the Lotusphere 2011 and hashtags of #ls11 and the now defunct #lotusknows campaign.
I would like to see a consolidated aggregation. Newer items always appear at the top by default, so having tons of content and hashtag filtering should be simple and easy to complete. You could then browse, compare and even run *gasp* analytics against the content and traffic simply.
Curation and aggregation of content for an event that has lasted over ten years. There are thousands of photos, a few tweets (since they expire), presentations and more to bring together. Just something to consider as I now flip between site for content.
