and shows both blogs and upcoming local events. It makes very attactive road-maps with the blogs geo-located on them.

This looks like the work of c h a n d u t h o t a, from India.

Finding Bloggers in Ann Arbor, or any other city

My how things grow. The paper "Mapping the Blogosphere in America" by Jia Lin and Alexander Halavais (SUNY Buffalo) (date unknown,at least 2003) lists 29,259 blogs they found, and Ann Arbor, with 368 was 8th in Rank in the USA. This agrees with other information about Ann Arbor I recall offhand,such as the 3 largest Macintosh User's groups in 1989 were Boston, San Francisco, and Ann Arbor.
This place is WIRED!

So, I went to the current Blogsearch, andI found this after a search of all blogs (above) for "Ann Arbor" (52,473 posts), "in Ann Arbor" (1,691 posts).

I found the site of Vacuum - Edward Vielmetti in Ann Arbor, who has 20 years IT experience in Ann Arbot, and is connected with the District LIbrary, the IT Zone, the Vacuum Group LLC, and the "Ann Arbor Bi Bim Bop (a2b3) thursday lunch group". He mentions
"plazes".

Plazes is a site "plazes" that lets you search for blogs geographically.

I was actually eager to discuss how blogging was going to be as transformative of political campiagning as the advent of television was 50 years ago."

Six ways in which blogs have transformed the American political process.

34 comments Latest by Alex Aguilar

Business 2.0 just published a a feature called Seven Technologies That Change Everything with Ajax listed as number #1. In that write-up, the magazine names six companies as the key players: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, Tibco, and, guess who!, 37signals. That’s quite a distinguished party to be part of. Anyone care to add up the combined market caps of that group?"

Emergent properties of blogosphere (live link)

One way to look at blogs is to look at the emergent properties of the blogosphere, on everything, versus looking at the 1-on-1 HCI type properties of the relationship of a single person to a single blog.

This gets into neural-nets and connectionism

Peer-review converges on blogs

It's interesting to notice how journals are increasingly looking like blogs. While a PDF of a paper is available, with the references in the back, it's becoming standard for the references to have hot links to the source articles, and even for the links to be live in the body of the paper itself. So the papers are becoming more OPEN, and Google-like, in that they EXPECT the reader to branch out from this article they're reading and go look at the reference source RIGHT NOW, and then come back. THAT MEANS, by the way, that MULTITHREADED BROWSERS, like FIREFOX, are MUCH better at supporiting this ("open 8 links in new tabs" while I'm reading along here) instead of INTERNET EXPLORER, that only comprehends a "open entirely new WINDOW") and fills your screen with windows. The single-threaded thinking versus multi-threaded thinking architectures are quite different models of how people work.

Blogs as open-source thinking

This is a thread for comments on blogs as a new method of "open-source" thinking - that is, thinking in public, visibly, but more structured than brainstorming. A single person controls the voice, the pace, and the tone and even the content - but it's a multi-person collaborative activity.

Blog network power

It seems to me that what's amazinging powerful about blogs is not a single blog, but the active networks of blogs that interconnect, and then turn on RSS feeds for automatic updating, send me your top five posts automatically, notify me if anyone comments on this, etc.

So, one thing blogs should be really good for is "STAYING CURRENT" on any fast-moving subject,whether it's a hurricane, an epidemic or hurricane, a political event, or a movie star's latest romance. Blog = gossip, except with filters and aggregators and automatic logging and archiving.
Connecting into a blog network is an AWARENESS enhancer. For students in any hot field, such as biotechnology, it's a place for news that you don't want to be the last to know about. Maybe that's one compelling reason to plug-in.
