I think that'd work fine for this, and enable others to use europeanblogger, asianblogger, etc. Hell, get 'em all and then when people want them just have 'em give you the registration fee or something so that you know it'll be a good set of sites.

This has the benefit of contributing back to open content as well as fitting in with an already existing infrastructure of open content editors/mirrors/etc.... You could even host a modified mirror of a subset of the dmoz content (such as just these entries) elsewhere (such as other hosting arrangements you may be working out) and then contribute them back - so that this way you need not worry about dmoz.org being down, etc.... Think of the potential - a regional ISP could mirror the list of blogs in that region, etc....

It's not related to blogging, it requires me to change code on my site (something not everyone is capable of doing), it can't sort by county or zip code, etc. It can't be pinged, it can't really be searched, etc. You are missing something… I have no interest in using geourl.org.
