I maintain a New York-specific blog called the New Yorkest at http://heath.vox.com/ -- and folks might also be interested in the project NYC Bloggers -- http://www.nycbloggers.com/ -- which maps blogs clustered by subway stop. The proprietor(s) would make for an interesting interview. Similarly, FeedMap -- http://www.feedmap.net/BlogMap/ -- might be worth checking out. Geocoding blogs and blog entries has yet to be widely adopted, but the moblogging movement offers directional evidence that it's more and more feasible. I'm not aware of any formal studies of location-based blogs, however. Would love to learn more. Warren Ellis credits me with coining the term "mapblogging," which is clumsy. At the 2006 South by Southwest Interactive conference, I moderated a panel that considered various approaches to digitally annotating physical space. Participants included representatives from Meetup, Dodgeball, Socialight, and the Yale School of Architecture.
