What can Hyperlocal do that Traditional Media can’t?

by Matt on Feb 8, 2010 in Blogging

Catching up again on bookmarks I’ve come across over the past week or three, and here’s a good piece from Alex Gamela about what separate hyperlocal news/sites/blogs from traditional idea. He asks five people in our industry — Adam Westbrook, Adrian Holovaty, Josh Halliday, Rob Powell and William Perrin — for their thoughts about what hyperlocal sites can do, or do better, than mainstream media web sites.

There seems to be a somewhat common theme related to the use of technology and collaboration, but don’t take my word for it; here’s the full article, a good read to start your week.
