Get on the Map
I've been browsing through the links of "Boston Weblogs by neighborhood":http://www.boston-online.com/Blogs/, this weekend, and noticed that there are a lot of webloggers in "Cambridge":http://www.boston-online.com/Neighboring_communities/Cambridge/Weblogs/index.html... Perhaps Cambridge deserves to be split into neighborhoods, like Boston? (Where are all you Boston folks?)
Adam of "Boston Common":http://www.boston-online.com/common/ is putting this all together, and he is promising a map for all those suburbanites out in the hinterlands. If you're not listed, "add yourself":http://www.wickedgood.info/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi?ID=197, already.
A couple of years ago, I was interested in creating a "Boston weblog 'T' map":http://ned.suckahs.org/archives/000824.php, but it never got off the ground. I still think it is a good idea-- an interactive map that displays webloggers' locations. Alas, I have no time...
If you enjoy maps as much as I do:
* "nyc bloggers":http://www.nycbloggers.com/
* "DC Metro Blogmap":http://www.reenhead.com/map/metroblogmap.html
* "Chicago Bloggers":http://www.chicagobloggers.com/
* "seablogs":http://seablogs.hellbent.org/ (Seattle)
* "London Bloggers":http://londonbloggers.iamcal.com/map.php
*UPDATE:* Well, looks like Adam has been busy this weekend. As noted in his comment, Adam started the map: "Weblogs by T stop":http://www.boston-online.com/Blogs/stations/index.html. This is going to be fun...

OK, OK, I've succumbed! Weblogs by T stop is a pilot project because, hey, if you're going to watch the three-hour "Survivor" finale, you need something to keep your hands busy, right? Right now, only the Central and Forest Hills... [Read More]

OK, check it out:

Wicked rough around the edges (like, right now, just two actual stations, Central and Forest Hills), but the hard part is done - the image map (ugh, I hate doing ‘em).

Wow, man. That’s fast work! Was it relatively easy to implement into your existing CMS? It seems like you have a lot of manual editing and moderating to do — but, that’s what makes a good community site, I guess.
I couldn’t imagine doing the image map� they’re always tedious, but I’ve never done one so complex.
Heh, I just looked at the source code for NYC, and it is crazy — all absolute positioned DIVs, and stuff. Someone spent an awful lot of time in Dreamweaver…
