What could be better than getting socially networked into your own neighborhood?


Highs: Well designed site; good use of technology; fast and accurate search engine; integrates with Google Maps

Lows: Some mid-sized towns or large cities are missing information; cannot modify your own reviews

Introduction

When it comes to following the ultra fast-paced world of internet startups, there is certainly no shortage of buzzwords thrown around: social networking, user generated content (UGC), network effects, collective intelligence, the long tail, mashups, citizen journalism, and on and on. One that has been getting a lot of action recently is "hyperlocal." Hyperlocal describes being able to discover the latest news, events, and information locally, in your hometown or city, and is a powerful concept. StreetAdvisor wants to take that even further by providing a place to read and write reviews on the street that you live on. That's about as local as you can possibly get.
