Have you people checked out the World as a Blog?
As a new post comes in, somewhere in the world (assuming they have Geotags), a blip shows up on the map with an excerpt of their post. Few things impress me these days. THIS is definitely one of them. I can stare at this thing for hours!
- What? Real time & updating display of weblog postings, around the world
- How? Weblogs.com + geocoding + RSS
- Is it really real-time? Nearly! Weblogs.com updates about once per minute. the geo-blog poller checks about once per minute. and flash checks in with the server about once per minute. so at worse, it’s 3 minutes in the past, at best 1 minute.
- Why so few blogs? Only ~13% of weblogs are geocoded (May 2003)
- How do I? Add GeoTags and RSS tag to your Blog, then Ping Weblogs.com
- What is Online@GeoBlog? View who’s watching geoblog right now. Sign in with your url. Must have geo tags to be represented.

You gotta be kidding me. I’m actually two months ahead of you on a meme?

For once, I get to be one of the cool kids like Linky! 🙂
I have seen this before, and it is so amazing! Thanks for sharing this impressive site!

Hey… they don’t call you the LinkMeister for nothing, man… ;0)
That’s amazing! Has anybody tried to post and see themselves ping up on the map, yet?
Afterthought: that map’s going to be going nuts during the blogagthon…and there’s a blogger down at the research station in Antarctica; they need to get on the map, too.
