Well kinda… John Breslin wrote today about developements on Planet of the Blogs and he included a graph of all the interlinked blogs as indexed by Planet of the Blogs. I couldn’t find myself but then there I was almost dead centre of the whole mess! I highlighted myself in red for your benefit.

But seriously the visualisation is class. I’d seen similar things done on Flickr and things but I’ve never seen on for the Irish Blogosphere. I’ve got a boards.ie blog down in that yellow mess in the bottom right too! It’ll be interesting to see this develop over time. It doesn’t seem to include all the new boards.ie blogs at my.boards.ie yet so I’d imagine that could change it significantly if even a fraction of the tens of thousands of boards.ie users started blogging!

Can anyone tell me what that group over in the bottom right is all about, the one with the Clare Dillion blog in it. Is that some sort of Microsoft grouping of something?
