I have added metacarta's geoparser API to Geoblogosphere News which is able to recognize placenames in blog posts. The recognized places are visualized now in two ways:
First: a little Google chart API map shows a quick overview, the image here shows the first try. (The Geoblogosphere seems to be quite US centric;)) I have placed this beneath the tag cloud..
Second: a click on this map brings you to a Google maps where all geotagged blog posts are shown.
Looks quite nice.. however, sometimes results are quite strange, e.g. the geoparser insists placing blog posts containing 'Darwin' in Australia!
