Everyblock.com covers more cities, offers drill-downs as narrow as a couple of blocks and reaches beyond the low-hanging fruit and unlocks siloed government data.

Oh yeah, they are going to open source their code in 2009.

How to search for a specific city like ‘Hamburg, Germany’?

I love the idea, but I wonder if this can be expanded to smaller cities as well, but probably there are enough news for such cities…

the problem with this product is that it can be replicated by facebook who has the userbase just like facebook replicated the features from friendfeed and now twitter with their mobile app.

HEY DARIAN, I KNOW YOU HATE MY IDEAS, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, START BUILDING PRODUCTS THAT MATTER…

I was quite excited by the TC article as this is one of the main ways I used to use Twitter – “track Dublin” to see who’s talking about what’s going on in Dublin (Ireland). Then I went to the site.

Why oh why do ‘local’ sites have to restrict themselves to a small number of cities? Another example is Yelp. How much hard coding can there be in these sites? Why not make the technology a platform for users to set up their own cities rather than dictating which cities are ’supported’?

In the case of Fwix, isn’t it just a monitor for mentions of certain cities on these web sites?

I’m probably over-simplifying but I’d like to understand where the complexity in ’supporting’ different areas is.

First of all, it looks like a half-loaded Facebook page. Next, the Favicon is a direct rip off of Microformat.org’s. It’s just flipped and recolored– matches pixel for pixel.

I vote that thriveorfail.com will fail… because that is one butt ugly website.
