The brainchild of minor media magnets Sean Bonner and Jason DeFillippo, Blogging.la brings together the collective insights and interests of several major Los Angeles-based writers. Together, they blog for and about Los Angeles, creating community and connecting far-flung residents. There are currently 20 L.A. bloggers contributing as the mood strikes them, but usually several times a week each. During any given week, the blog contains posts about upcoming events (exhibits, parades, performances), new clubs, the weather, and — it is L.A. — traffic.

Blogging.la, which is shown in Figure 18-9, is one of several Metroblogging efforts put together by Bonner and DeFillippo. Twenty-five other cities have similar blogs, including Atlanta; Chicago; London; Tokyo; Vienna; and Washington, D.C. Plans are in the works for Paris, Dublin, and Istanbul
