Not quite Chris Columbus, but it will have to do!

Being that right at this point in time I am miserable and lonely, I thought I would check out my fellow bloggers of the world in VerveEarth. Since my blog is in English and im getting bored of the Europeans, I decided to wander over to the Americas to see what I could discover.

Not quite the Christopher Columbus fleet, my cursor hovered delightfully across the Atlantic until finally I came to my destination and, later, discovery. In the North American continent, there are several thousand blogs registered (naturally) under VerveEarth's beta. Similar to Google Earths navigation (who needs the stars) you can zoom in and discover just how many blogs there are in regions (also known as states). a quick glance at what my screen showed me.


It seems most of the Americans that are leaving the Summer season (see you next year) are no longer blogging (if VerveEarth is anything to go by). Yet, along the bible belt and more specifically, Summery parts of the continent, the blogging frenzy is rampant.

Interesting discovery. Just wanted to share.

2 Opinions that shouldnt really be allowed:

Thanks so much for reading the blag. It borders on "emo," but it's mainly to keep my friends & family updated with me. And, for those who stumble in, I hope it's a nice read, somewhat educational, very graphic, with gratuitous profanity.

I'd like to correspond, if that's alright with you...

Hey Man, saw this post in regards to verve. I just linked up with it. Seems pretty cool the (geo)graphical interface for bloggers.

Your perspective on Mid-East conflict is interesting as being somewhat more involved than the average Westerner. Did you by any chance read article on Israel in Atlantic Monthly 05/2008? I think you would find it interesting.

Cheers,
Peter
