This is an excellent idea! My FC does something like that on our forum where we have a master thread dedicated to posting small updates that others in the company would be aware of, which can be things like "so&so hasn't been seen around lately" or "people may have heard loud explosions in the yard last night." It's usually a very good read and provides a nice way of keeping up to speed on what everyone else is doing.
Having something like that at the RPC level would be wonderful and I imagine it would really help to add a lot of continuity. I'd definitely be reading it often and trying to see ways that I could incorporate it into my RP. Styling it as a "rumours" directory is a good idea because that accounts for the way that people learn the information, but calling it a "rumours directory" is a bit of a misleading name because people might see it and think that it's a dumping ground for character rumours when really what you're referring to is more a buzz tracker that keeps track of things people in the Realm may be talking about based on our RP stories.
It would also be great to have RP encounters where I'm meeting someone that I've heard a rumour about, or something from a company that I've heard rumours about, so I could say something like "oh, the Behemoth Riders? I've heard about your philanthropy work for Conjurors Without Borders." And so on.
Anyways I say do it. Start a thread. I'll contribute to it and read it frequently.
