Posted January 24, 200817 yr This looks very promising. http://www.everyblock.com/ From the announcement: http://blog.everyblock.com/2008/jan/23/launch/ "What's happening in my neighborhood?" For a long time, that's been a tough question to answer. In dense, bustling cities like Chicago, New York and San Francisco, the number of daily media reports, government proceedings and local Internet conversations is staggering. Every day, a wealth of local information is created -- officials inspect restaurants, journalists cover fires and Web users post photographs -- but who has time to sort through all of that? Our mission at EveryBlock is to solve that problem. We aim to collect all of the news and civic goings-on that have happened recently in your city, and make it simple for you to keep track of news in particular areas. We're a geographic filter -- a "news feed" for your neighborhood, or, yes, even your block. Today we're launching in three American cities: Chicago, New York and San Francisco. On each site, you can type in any address to read local news and public information near you. _____________________________________ Poke around, it's very, very well done. We need Grasscat to get with these guys to start a Cincinnati version.
