Placeblogger is a new tool for discovering, reading and subscribing to local blogs.

"Placeblogs" are devoted to particular neighborhoods, towns, cities, or regions and typically feature news, discussion, and information on local businesses. They're written by locals for locals.

On Placeblogger, you'll find links to sites like Perfect Duluth Day about Duluth, Minnesota and Hat City Blog from Danbury, Connecticut.

Placeblogger is backed by prominent citizen journalism advocates, including NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen.

Lisa Williams says she started Placeblogger because local blogs are hard to find.
