Everyblock A-Go-Go

I’m sure there will be a lot of journo-blogging on the much-anticipated release of Everyblock. My initial impressions: nice interface, although I find myself clicking a lot to get to information I want. It’s a lot more fully-formed than Gannett’s data center concept, and a lot more informative than outside.in. It also only applies to Chicago, New York and San Francisco - boo. I had seen something about the EB folks releasing the source code under an Open Source license, but there’s no mention of that in the launch post. One more site that aggregates (much) more than it produces…

Of note: Adsense appears on a few pages, but not near data gleaned from news sources, craigslist or Yelp.

Tons of quick hit pieces like this: Mindy, Matthew, TechCrunch, Screenwerk, etc, etc, etc
