findmo.de aims to map the locations of bloggers and blog posts. They will develop a WordPress plugin to collect location information from bloggers and display blog posts on maps using Google Maps. Their goal is to provide valuable location-based information about discussions on blogs by obtaining first-party data directly from content creators, rather than through screen scraping or IP addresses. findmo.de believes they have an advantage over competitors because they can engage directly with bloggers to gather local information.
