Hi Juan,

Wonderful things happened since I wrote this. A guy in New Zealand,
Phillip Pearson, built a site to make the ideas real. It is at
http://topicexchange.com

Many groups have been created on the exchange. Some of the most active are
in Spanish:

http://topicexchange.com/t/directorio_blogs_hispanos/
http://topicexchange.com/t/bitacoras/

If you want to create one to collect Peru-related posts, you are very
welcome! Also add it to the list at
http://topicexchange.com/wiki.pl?WorldWide

I've written a "scientific" article on this experiment (pdf, 500k).

One of the things that are missing is an automatic way to enable blog tools
without trackback to participate. I've just got an idea that I might try,
based on a recent experiment done at NMC 2004.

My brother went to Peru last year. He thought you guys are very cool.

Cheers
