Thanks to Erica George for pointing us to this Livejournal Community [4] devoted to information sharing in the aftermath of today's bomb blasts in London.

DoWire.org has put together a “London Responds” wiki [5].

Metroblogging London [6] has been going all day, as have thousands of other blogs, chatrooms, flickr pages, moblog sites, etc. Boingboing has an excellent set of links [7].

The best way to find blog posts and photos as they hit the internet is through technorati and flickr tags.

You can now subscribe to RSS feeds of the following Technorati tags:
London [8]
bombs [9]
July 7 [10]
7 July [11]
terrorism [12]
London bomb [13]
London blast [14]
London explosion [15]

On Flickr, see the bomb blast pool [16] and the London explosions pool [17].

Also the following tags:

Please let us know of any other good sites and tagging systems that are aggregating London blast related blogging.

All major media are putting together tremendous staff resources to aggregate and collect eyewitness stories and images from todays bomb blasts in London. The BBC in particular is doing an excellent job [22], showing how professionals and citizens can work together to cover a story. The Wall Street Journal has a useful page here [23] where new links will be updated. Wikinews is also aggregating a lot of stories [23] – both from professional and citizen sources.
