For work that I am doing with Prof. Sharon Zukin on creative cultural producers in Brooklyn (New York), I are looking for studies of blogs that originate in, and identify with, specific areas of cities. How common are such blogs?
I know http://outside.in/ is trying to aggregate local information including locality-related blog postings - you could try contacting them and seeing if they have any clever ways of identifying local blogs... --- David Brake, Doctoral Student in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/ mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunications.htm> Also see http://davidbrake.org/ (home page), http://blog.org/ (personal weblog) and http://get.to/lseblog (academic groupblog) Author of Dealing With E-Mail - <http://davidbrake.org/ dealingwithemail/> callto://DavidBrake (Skype.com's Instant Messenger and net phone)
