Yup, planetgs.com does a great job and James Fee is a pioneer in
gathering geospatial people from both worlds in common place.

However, my personal feeling is that there is a lot or too much of
anonymity on the Planet Geospatial, but communities are not formed by 
anonymous individuals.

When I look at the list of aggregated blogs, I hardly can identify
who is hiding behind all those names.

If you check the list of members of

http://planet.debian.org/
http://planet.ubuntu.com/
http://planet.gnome.org/

you see *only* and *real* names of people.

IMHO, this is a very important difference for how community is
visible to the world.
