Hyperlocal News Roundup
by Matt McGee on Apr 4, 2010 in Industry
Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. This past week sorta got away from me, and several ideas I wanted to pursue for Hyperlocal Blogger have sat un-pursued for now. This week isn’t looking too much better, but we’ll see how things go. I have a new blogger’s organizational tool I want to highlight with some screenshots, as well as a post about measuring success that I want to get your thoughts on, too. Hopefully those posts will be coming soon. For now, the latest hyperlocal inks I’ve collected.
