I asked – is Seattle an outlier for concentration of hyperlocal blogging? danah (@zephoria) helped to get the question out in Twitter. Responses included enthusiastic enumerations of cities as well as links to specific hyperlocal content. Take a look at the comments on the original posts for feedback. Here, I’ve culled the sites that were linked to:
- Wahoo, Nebraska: on WikiCity
- Richmond, Virginia: rvablogs
- Melbourne: Indolent Dandy’s blogs, e.g. Brunswick 3056 and East Brunswick 3057
- Ottowa: Apartment 613
- Durham, North Carolina: Bull City Rising
- Western New York: The Batavian
- Davidson, North Carolina: Davidson News
- Berkeley, California: InBerkeley (Dave Winer and Lance Knobel)
- Mission Neighbourhood, San Francisco: Mission Mission
- Yellow Knife, NWT, Canada: NWT Blogs
I’d love to hear more opinions on this topic, as well as links to favourite blogs or other hyperlocal resources.
