On Planet Geospatial, Fee periodically changes the roster of blogs as he discovers and ads new gems. The complete current list is always viewable from the right-hand side subscription menu.

A few included now are: Mapping Hacks, All Points Blog, The Map Room and Thinking in GIS.  Recent posts feature everything from “Election Ad Spending Map” – to -  “KML Layer Support Growing in WWJava“. Check it all out at http://www.planetgs.com!
