The world as a blog
Posted on June 18, 2003 @ 16:04 in Blogosphere
The world as a blog is really quite an amazing application. This shockwave file keeps an eye on weblogs.com, crossreferences with GeoURL and then displays an excerpt of each weblog entry that is posted in almost real-time on a map of the world. You gotta see it to believe it :-)
Okay, posting this message now and waiting if it shows up on the map...
Update: Ooh! I showed up on the world map. Only thing that seems to have gone wrong is that it couldn't read my RSS 1.0 feed. Maybe I should add a RSS 2.0 excerpt-only feed.

Go look at this map of the world that dynamically displays blog posts, as they're written, glued to the appropriate place on the map - it's awesome to watch. (via Frank, who briefly explains where they get the data from)...

Comments and trackbacks have been closed on this site. My apologies.
Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
