Initially, we thought that Placeblogger would be limited to largely Anglophone countries, not because we wanted it that way, but because of our own language limitations in being able to find and identify placeblogs in countries whose language we could not speak. We're happy to say that there has been a much larger response from placebloggers globally to add their own sites. We welcome sites from any place on the planet.
We recommend Global Voices Online very highly. Global Voices Online is a daily digest and extensive directory of non-US blogs focused on news, events, and daily life in countries across the globe.
