I like that graph (though it shows NZ is the most aware, just above Oz).
Everyone is welcome to post here - you don't have to be a local...
Hey hey Big Gav,
My mistake. I new NZ was at the top of the list but I thought that OZ referred to both New Zealand and Australia. I've been to Australia but I hadn't seen the phrase "land of OZ" outside of the oil drum. I should have realized Australia -> Aussie -> OZ, sheltered life I guess.
On an entirely different note I read your post:
Before anyone else had replied, I didn't feel it was my place to weigh in on before any of the locals had a chance. But here is my 2ยข on the matter: It depends on what you want to accomplish. The Oil Drum Canada had their version called the Round-Up which was focused on the economy until Stoneleigh and Ilargi left to start The Automatic Earth. It seems to me that you can either have a local version of the DrumBeat in each region or you can differentiate by category. Personally I think both would be nice.
Having local versions of the Drumbeat means the local sites can have a bit more of a community feel and focus on issues that probably don't concern (or particularly interest) a global audience.
Having additional subject focused news roundups is also a good idea - its just a problem of bandwidth. I have toyed with the idea of doing a "the week in renewable energy" (or "the week in cleantech") column but if I did that I'd probably never get any long-form posts finished.
