Placeblogger.com -- 600 U.S. blogs focused on news and happens in geographical places indentified by Williams

Lisa Williams, proprietress of H2oTown.info, the website for Watertown, Mass.,  is launching a project called Placeblogger.com, which has found and is categorizing at least 648 blogs which write news, comentary or features about a U.S. local community.  She talked about it today (Oct. 5) at J-Lab's Citizens Media Summit II, meeting in Washington, D.C., and earlier, in an interview with Bill Densmore of the Media Giraffe Project.  "I think these sites are just awesome, and I want other people to see them," Wilson told attendees at the Washington summit. "There are great things out there but very few people know about them."  She says she is thinking of the Placeblogger site as the "not-quite-ready-for-primetime AP (Associated Press)."
