Local DC bloggers

I got an email about a new Meetup.com MoveableType event today. After not voting for a venue (simply becuase all the venues listed were awful), I clicked around to see what some of the locals were up to.

In the internet alter-world bloggers live in, geography is forgotten and indeed looked at as irrelevant. I disagree. And I think Meetup.com is a testament to the fact that geography and the internet can come together. In fact, I think each enhance each other or feed off each other.

Without the desire to get together with like-minded people, meetup.com would not be as successful as it is. Without the internet, it would obvisouly not exist at all.

The very fact that everything is so placeless on the internet makes me even more curious when I do find a site (especially a personal blog) that is produced locally.

Here are a few sites I found while poking around on Meetup.com that were either interesting to read or pretty to look at. All local to the DC area.
