    EveryBlock Launched

    Knight 2007 News Challenge Winner
    Adrian Holovaty

    by Adrian Holovaty (Bio), January 24, 2008

    Tagged: everyblock, hyperlocal, launch, local media

    We've launched the first version of our Knight-funded project, EveryBlock. It offers a news feed for every block, neighborhood and ZIP code in Chicago, New York and San Francisco.

    Our launch announcement gives more information about what we're trying to do.

    We've still got a long way to go, but it's good to have this initial version out the door. Please let us know what you think! You can e-mail us at feedback at everyblock.com.

    I guess that combining the fixed rules for audio, video, image and text will be significant, as are the "open" intuitive based rules that the user contributes.
