Yahoo Launches OurCity
Yahoo launched OurCity. OurCity tries to tie together local information from blogs, videos, news, events, photos, and more.
The new OurCity Blog says:
Yahoo! Our City provides a very interesting, rich and dynamically updated perspective of our city as seen and experienced by us all. You can use Our City to
- Explore photos, videos, events, news, weather, blogs and a lot more
- Share events, photos, videos, trip plans and blogs with others
This is the new generation of the web - City content of the users, by the users and for the users.
Currently, they’re only covering Bangalore and Dehli but they are planning on adding more cities.
Hopefully we’ll see what the US looks like shortly. I’d be interested with seeing the relevance of the information tied in together on the page. For example, I’d be more interested in “Burbank” than “Los Angeles” (which would have far too much information and would most likely show completely unrelated information mashed together on the same page.
