Got this message from somebody who gave me this new hyperlink address to a Google mapping site that contains the locations of "Deaf Bloggers." It's new and looks like only a few were added so far.
This is a Google map beta version called "Frapper!" Apparently it's very easy to use, of course. Just add your zip code, your blogsite name, any message to add in the shout box, and add your link address. Simple! A quick and easy visual look on where everybody is located at a glance. You can even make your own whether it's based on Deaf Chat Coffee locations or whatever. If there is a valid zip code in the United States and, apparently, in Canada (or anywhere else in the world) then you can put down your own location on the Frapper! map or if you're a deaf/hh blogger add it to the Deaf Bloggers Frapper! site.
Pass it around the Deaf Bloggers Frapper! address link and add it to your blog!

It's neat and fun. Google is really getting creative here.
UPDATE: Did some playing around in a different Google map and realized that while writing comments in the shout box, be sure to hit the return key often keeping the writing short in length rather than having one long uninterupted written length which will show up as a stretched out bubble on the Google map. Click on "Banjo" the very first Deaf blogger to put his name on the map and you'll see what I mean.
