Where are you? Where I am
 Blogspace is only vaguely releated to geographic location, often jokingly referred to as 'meatspace.' The blogs have their own orientiation that is much more interesting than street address, like its topics, philosophy, political orientation and of course which server family you are on (e.g. Salon blogs, like me).
Yet, it's not entirely uninteresting where in the world we are. GeoURL has an interesting project: mapping web sites to geographic address. By doing some near-geek tweaking of your blog software (carefully described) you can add meta tags to your blog which tells everybody where in the world you are. Again, as a result of geek humour, it is called ICBM address (or missile address), presumably what Pentagon would have to plot into some computers to send a missile your way.
To find out my coordinates, I used this site. I am apparently at
Longitude: 5.32976
Latitude: 60.3951
which can be useful knowledge if you want to send a Tomahawk my way. Or just drop by to say hi (yeah, I am that far north) .
If you click the icon at the start of this entry, you'll get a list of my physical neighbours in cyberspace, including some other bloggers located in Norway. Hopefully more people start to use ICBM addresses on their blog, and maybe you can find some blogging neighbours too.
