social networking......new orleans style

Rick Roche's interesting blog, and what New Orleans is doing. They have started something called Metroblogging. Rick describes it as thus :-
'Metroblogging New Orleans is a cooperative effort, as a variety of citizens with varying viewpoints are posting their observations about living in their city. New today is a two minute video from Editor B of B.Rox showing a strip mall that is as it was right after Katrina. In a clothing store the muck of the high water line cuts right across dresses still on display.'

Sounds well cool.
