That's really cool. I should really sort out georeferencing my blog posts (might need to hack WordPress a bit or find a plugin, and then I want to add an OSM map or link to my template). Then you could put the url as http://blogs.openstreetmap.org which is user diaries plus a fairly long list of OSM people who blog on their own website.
