Hijacking Aspen's latest posts from Doha: horses & mosques

You Are Here

The most basic premise of this blog is that we're writing about places in the non-place of the web; its most basic conceit is that doing that somehow makes the web less of a non-place and more of a place. Because we're human. (After all.)

I don't know what Plazes does to all that, but I definitely like it. Can we all do it? I think it'll work to have a little individual map for each of us down the right side of the page. Here's how to do it: register, track your location, then click on "share location" and "integrate your map in your blog." Set the size to 200 x 200, choose your colors, then email me the html that shows up in the box. (I don't think you can get into the "typelist" with your "guest author" privileges. The one catch is that I think everyone's map will say "I AM AT..." -- but then it's all about collective identity, right?
