Mapping the blogosphere
I recently added a sitemeter traffic monitor for this site and I have been surprised with the geographic diversity of the readers. I’ll paste a recent random snapshot below.
Then I learned about Google’s new frappr community mapping service and thought readers of the site might want to add a pushpin to the map. I’m not really sure what point this serves, but hey, the technology is available so why not?! Click here to map Elmo’s Dr. Vino’s world.
But what could be even more interesting is to map wine bloggers and where they write from. So I set up a frappr map for mapping the wine blogosphere — hopefully wine bloggers will contribute so we can have a quick map of the wine blogosphere.
