Link: We're all living in an Everyblock world

Back in 2008, I wrote a blog post welcoming the local civic info site Everyblock to the world. Today, just over five years later, Everyblock has announced that their parent company, NBC News, has shuttered the site. Twitter has been awash with people digesting the news and I suspect that this blog post, written while battling a nasty winter cold, isn't the first nor will it be the last. That's what happens when you create something with the impact that Everyblock had: People care when it's gone.
