Google! DayPop! This is my blogchalk: English, United States, Seattle, Downtown, Woody, Male, 26-30!

There have been a couple things popping up in the online world recently, both based on the old chalk symbols hobos used to use when travelling around in order to convey information about safe places to stay, good places to get free food, and such.
The first — which I myself don’t have much use for — is Warchalking, where symbols are being developed to notify users of wireless networking enabled notebooks where they can get a free ‘net hookup as they wander around their town.
The second, which I just stumbled across, is Blogchalking. You fill in some simple information about your blog, and it generates some code and the blogchalking icon for your page. Why? Well, in the author’s words:
The idea is, after a couple weeks, and your blog being re-indexed, to make possible for anybody to do a search like this: blogchalk language country city neighborhood (or any keywords combination plus the special one blogchalk) and got as result a list of weblogs from the specific region you wanted!
So, what’s at the top of this post is my own blogchalk. Just more fun and games in the online world….
