Posting Globally, Linking Locally
Posted on September 26, 2003 at 1:53 pm | No Comments
A couple of supercool location-based online blogging resources have grabbed my attention this week…
GeoBlog – the World as a Blog – Wow. A world map and within-the-hour titles of around-the-world blog entries appearing as you watch. A major event takes place in the UK? Watch as red dots spring up over there with random posts and perspectives on it, then click to surf and read. Even has a simple little ‘sign in’ feature that shows who else is watching the map with you, and where they’re watching from. The novelty hasn’t worn off for me yet. Boston LocalFeed – pulls together a constantly-updated list of the latest blog entry titles, excerpts, and links in the Boston area. An easy way to see what people near me are writing about. If you’re not in Boston, there are LocalFeeds for over two dozen cities, with more added all the time.
If you want your own blog to appear on either of these pages, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got Geo/ICBM tags in your blog template, and that you publish an RSS/XML feed of your blog page. Each site has detailed instructions if you’re a Geoblogging novice, so go get yourself located.
