A quick log on blogs
I've got some stuff to log later once I'm home, but just had to get a quick lunch-time blog in. While doing some weblog surfing, I came across Megnut's From the Margins of the Writable Web powerpoint for her presentation at ETCon. These handouts obviously pale in comparison to the presentation (look like they were more speaker aids than audience), but there were a few meaty bits in there. In particular, I'm intrigued by the World as a Blog, which provides a nearly real-time display of geo-coded weblogs. Wow! I've got IDblog geourl-enabled, so I'm going to submit this and see how long it take me to pop up :). BTW, this other entry from Meg, Searching the BlogSphere, looks pretty interesting too.

Wow, that World as a Blog is almost hypnotizing to watch. That's the first good use of GeoURL that I've seen. If the GeoURL website had a better interface to the maps and didn't zoom in so damn close then I think more people would consider adding the GeoURL data to their site. A D.C. street map isn't very useful to someone who isn't from the area. I wonder if it's possible to create a hookup to something like like Yahoo! Maps or Expedia? -- Posted by Joshua Kaufman on April 25, 2003 03:24 PM
