Frappr (as they're now calling themselves) are getting some good publicity out of me. Now that I've discovered that they do cover various other bits of the world, if you can be bothered to use the navigation bars (thanks Adrian!), I've gone ahead and set up a new map. Since there's so much real estate, I thought I'd set up an edublog map for everyone (well, everyone covered by Google maps at the moment anyway), not just us UK & Ireland based types. So please, if you're an edublogger of any shape, size or persuasion, please head over to http://www.frappr.com/edubloggers.
Please remember to put your blog name and url in the 'shoutout' section. And please do advertise the map - lets make a great resource for edubloggers and for everyone interested in using technology to support teaching and learning.
Tried to add myself a few times, but apparently Calgary isn't a valid city :-)

Why not adopt a city that is recognised? Liverpool, Milan or Tokyo are all available: You can relocate to a glamorous city without the expense. Oh wait, I forgot that's completely not the point. There are tons of you mighty Canadian edtechs! Between you I'm sure you can get Google to add Calgary. If you get a blog sticker I'll display it with pride.

It occurs to me that the map-based view, charming as it is, ceases to become a resource once the coverage equates to, say, all UK universities. Or am I wrong?

It worked this morning... Trying "Calgary, Alberta (Canada)" for the city seems to have kicked in.

Well done, Josie! This is quite the lovely little party/un-conference you have initiated. But I am a bit peeved that you have at least *tripled* the number of blogs I have to put on my "read ever day" list! ;^)

Thanks for writing about such a great little tool. I've already added it to my site and hope to have our little community showing off where they live.
