EveryBlock

TrendCentral: A geographical filtering site, EveryBlock aggregates relevant news and data to inform users about what’s happening in their neighborhood, block, street or zip code. Currently only available in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, the site focuses on traditional news articles (from both national and local papers and blogs), civic information (crime, building permits, restaurant inspections), and “fun from across the Web” (photos posted to Flickr, reviews on Yelp, missed connections on Craigslist). Expect this hyperlocal site to be a hit, especially as the locasumer trend continues to grow.
