Walter Hutchens’ Blog

How nifty! This site displays lists of DC bloggers based on which Metro station you point towards.

The list is now manageable, but one can foresee that this map will be over-populated as blogging becomes more common (we are long past the early adoption stage if even I am doing it!). I mean, a map of “people with email accounts” or “people and organizations with web pages” would be useful perhaps for aggregate information but not on a particularized level. The category “people who blog” could become just as unwieldy. But I suppose not everyone will become as prolix as some of us. Still, this is DC, home of the chattering classes.

One can imagine lots of other fun maps of this sort. “People with navel rings,” “artists working in pastels,” etc.

The existing map underscores the reality of the “digital divide,” too.
