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.
