Placeblogger launches with local blog directory
Cory Bergman January 3rd, 2007
Now at 1,000 blogs and counting, Placeblogger is a directory of local blogs sorted by location. “If you’re writing about a small area or town, who’s going to link to you from outside? You’re not very visible,” said founder Lisa Williams explaining why she launched the site. Placeblogger is backed by Dan Gillmor’s Center for Citizen Media and PressThink’s Jay Rosen.

Nice. I found a great blog for my hometown of Natick, MA, that has pictures from the town’s history AND updates on the civic issues here. And unlike most town papers, this site has a nice editorial edge about it. Good service.
