Recommended Hyperlocal Reading
by Matt on Feb 18, 2010 in Industry
I made a slightly tongue-in-cheek comment in the headlines of the previous post here on HLB about AOL’s plans to expand its Patch network of hyperlocal sites. And then my post itself was far too brief (due to other commitments) to offer much value.
If you’re a local news blogger, or if you’re just interested in the subject, there’s a much more intelligent look at the AOL news, and some excellent comments, on a post by Jennifer Deseo — When Big Box meets hyperlocal news.
I’ve written before that, even though I don’t think they’ll succeed, it’s good exposure for all of us when Big Media announces a new hyperlocal blog/site network. In her post, Jennifer comes to the conclusion that this same thing can also be good for individual bloggers, but she comes at it from a financial angle. It’s a good read.
(BTW, Jennifer’s blog is new and looks to be recommended reading. She recently shut down her own hyperlocal news blog in Maryland and has a month’s worth of good stuff on The Hyperlocalist.)
