Placeblogger
July 1st, 2008 by AnnaI got an email from a friend today about Placeblogger – a site for placeblogs. What is a placeblog? From the FAQ page:
Placeblogs, however, are about something broader than news alone. They’re about the lived experience of a place. That experience may be news, or it may simply be about that part of our lives that isn’t news but creates the texture of our daily lives: our commute, where we eat, conversations with our neighbors, the irritations and delights of living in a particular place among particular people. However, when news happens in a community, placeblogs often cover those events in unique and nontraditional ways, and provide a community watercooler to discuss those events.
Sounds like a real estate blog to me! In fact, they have a real estate category. Check it out – and add your blog (scroll down on that link, looks like it formats oddly in some browsers).
This is another way to get your blog exposure, of course. It will feed your blog into searches there based on your location.
If you search the directory for a location it will not just list blogs for that area, but actual posts, so if you have something of interest for a searcher looking in your area, they can go directly to the post on your existing blog.
It’s pretty cool.
