BlogAggregator

The BlogAggregator mechanism has been developing over the past year or so in blogdom. Basically, you send an excerpt from a post on your own blog to a subject-specific aggregation site, through either filling out a form or using Trackback. A good example of this is the [Blogs Against War] site. The [Internet Topic Exchange] is another place where one can set up aggregation channels devopted to particular topics. This mechanism might be a good way to highlight interesting place-oriented posts on people's blogs, and allowing for greater awareness of these posts.
