The problem you will run into with an aggregator is that most local 
bloggers who blog about local stuff will also blog about things that 
don't necessarily have anything to do with the local area.  You really 
get into an issue where it would be better, IMO, to have a site 
dedicated to original articles about the local area.  Bloggers could 
certainly cross-post their local content but unless they had an RSS feed 
for content tagged as being locally relevant, it would be awfully hard 
to have a useful aggregator with such a limited scope.

I'm playing around with a few different things now but for my Planet 
Trilug feed, I have a blog that is use distinctly for my geek/tech 
interests and nothing else.  I'm thinking it could possibly be better to 
have just one blog, and have Planet Trilug pick up just the entries 
tagged as "geek".  Just a thought.

I, too, am struggling with how wikia intends to make a magazine out of a 
wiki but the maintainers seem very responsive and are tuning/tweaking 
things all the time.
