Cow-orker Erin sent this along to me -- hyperlocal community site Outside.in has a list of the 10 Bloggiest Neighborhoods in the US.
Number 1 is Clinton Hill, Brooklyn (which is not completely unexpected), though their Number 2 is the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. (DC represent! Holla! And yes, I know I live in the Northern Virginia suburbs.)
* Speaking of DC, the free alterna-weekly Washington City Paper has an article looking at how the Washington Post took advantage of blogs and social profile sites (especially Facebook) to garner eyewitness accounts and interviews for their coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings last week.
They liken the technique of surfing, searching and calling with the old LA Times reporter strategy of GOYA/KOD, or "Get Off Your Ass/Knock On Doors."
* The folks at DC Metroblogging report that the Library of Congress now has a blog. Check it out.
Thanks -- Joe

INTELLIGENT AND TRUTHFUL BLOGGERS CAN SERVE A GOOD PURPOSE AS A 'WATCHDOG COMMITTEE'.
CANDIDATES THAT TEND TO BE SOMEWHAT SHADY CAN BE QUICKLY EXPOSED.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A FEW CON ARTISTS THAT WILL SLIP THROUGH AT LEAST FOR A WHILE. sam
Thought maybe I'd go away huh? Well, I just wanted to re-state my deisre to see a better representation of God in the Editors Blogs on the journals main page. I find it really disheartening that not a single editor represented has professed any faith or "Godly" ideals.
The AOL editors are representing themselves as a God-LESS bunch, and I do not think it is right, nor do I think it is a fair representation of this journal community.
I will pray that you handle this situation appropriately.
Blessings-
Amanda
Amanda -- the Editor's Blogs sidebar on the right side of the blogs main page features some of the group blogs that AOL is associated with in some way (done by employees in one way or another).
We don't have any religion/spirituality bloggers of which I'm aware that fit this category, which may speak to a larger issue, but I can't do anything about that bit of it right now.
In the left portion of the page, we highlight the feeds from some of the group blogs from all around the Web (we highlight group blogs in this space because they're always updating with fresh content); if you have religion group blogs you'd like to suggest we include, please send the links along and we'll take a look.
Thanks,

Massachusetts dominates that list, I might note.
