I completely understand if you do not find weblogs useful, and I agree that we should consider making more information available through other mediums.  However, I will also say that if you don't read weblogs, and were completely unaware of MXNA, no wonder you are not happy with the state of the Macromedia community since many of us have really shifted our emphasis from mailing lists and forums to weblogs (which we consider to be more practical in many regards).  The Macromedia weblogs and MXNA represent a very significant contribution to the Macromedia community, and anyone who wants to follow the community really needs to be watching the weblog scene to get anywhere near the full story. One of things I like best about weblogs is their versatility.  I completely understand if you are not crazy about the thought of surfing through hundreds of different weblogs every day, and I think most weblog junkies would agree.  That's why there's RSS.  You might want to consider configuring one of the agents you mentioned to start watching various RSS feeds.  You can also grab all the data available in MXNA and/or Fullasagoog (another aggregator you should check out -- MXNA is heavily based on Fullasagoog code) via web services.
