My List: 10 Cool Hyperlocal Blogs
by Matt on Apr 14, 2010 in Industry
Promise not to hate me, please?
Blogs.com is running a series of “guest Top 10″ lists (here’s one from Marc Andreesen and one from Chris Anderson), and even though my name never belongs in the same paragraph as heavy hitters like them, Blogs.com asked me to submit a list about hyperlocal blogging.
So I did: 10 Cool Hyperlocal Blogs.
Now, a couple disclaimers:
- I couldn’t list everyone that contributes to this blog in one way or another, but I did list many of you. Either way, I appreciate everyone in this growing community we have here and love learning from you.
- I actually grouped the three Seattle blogs together and wrote one description, but Blogs.com tells me they couldn’t post the list that way for technical reasons. So you’ll see a description next to one of the Seattle blogs, but it actually is about all three.
- I didn’t submit the list in alphabetical order, but that’s how it was published.
So, as I said in the first sentence here … don’t hate me if you’re not on the list or if you think I mangled the description of your blog.

Matt-
You’re a hard guy to hate.
I added some comments on the original post that I hope spark a discussion.
PS. Feel free to include my blog in any list that doesn’t include the phrase “10 Worst”.
Thanks for giving a shout out to Live Here Oak Park. I’m especially honored to be the only unofficial blog on the list.
Keep up the great work. I always enjoy your posts, even when you don’t mention my site.
Wow Matt, thank you for including my site in your top 10 list. I am honored to have made it. Just to be mentioned in the list you have compiled is awesome.
Your site here has always served as inspiration and I continue to use the information and tips you so freely give out. You are my #1 hyperlocal resource on the net.
Steve
The best part about this is that, since I just realized the list is in alphabetical order, I can pretend that I was actually #1! (Just kidding. I’m pretty sure I’m #10, but thanks so much for mentioning the site at all.)
I focus on the Vancouver Downtown Eastside in Canada
Thanks very much for your excellent site!
