Geoblog, the World as a Blog

Geoblog is a real-time Flash visualization of blogworld. Making use of weblogs.com, GeoURL and RSS data, new postings to weblogs (that ping weblogs.com, contain ICMB addresses and have RSS feeds) pop up on a Flash world map as they get published.

"Is it really real-time? Nearly. Weblogs.com updates about once per minute. The geo-blog poller checks about once per minute. And Flash checks in with the server about once per minute. So at worst, it's 3 minutes in the past, at best 1 minute."
