Knol, Google's Wikipedia competitor, went live this morning

Dunbar's number

"A theoretical maximum number of individuals with whom a set of people can maintain a social relationship, the kind of relationship that goes with knowing who each person is and how each person relates socially to every other person." It's 150, btw.

Hyperlocal is just a fad, but what the word represents is nothing new

"It’s a fad term for the kind of nuts-and-bolts community coverage many daily newspapers abandoned in the wake of Woodward and Bernstein. It’s a fad term for building sites enhanced with granular databases and user-generated content."
