Update on the State of the German-language economics blogoverse

According to German blogger Dirk Eilner, the German language blogging universe has over 210 active business blogs, as of 6 January 2012. The corresponding post on Blick Blog featured yet a nice mapping tool, by MindMeister. Eilner used it to create a mind map style visualization of the German business and economics "blogosphere", or maybe "blogoverse".

* If the map appears as a blank field of solid grey, try clicking on the "Zoom in" or "Zoom out" buttons on the lower-left corner of the frame.

The version I embedded here is static. If viewed via direct link on the MindMeister website, dynamic updating is enabled. I am uncertain how visible that is from moment to moment. It should certainly be discernible on a weekly or monthly basis.
