Very cool site and they're from Chicago which makes them even cooler (HomePerks is also a Chicago company). Anyway, I'm not completely sold on all the datapoints for the Everyman audience. This might be TMI, but if its scalable in syndication it could be very useful to a broad audience. But for now, its a worthy launch. I saw this launch yesterday.

I can't remember ever getting a hit from them. That said, I still think it's a very cool site. I just wish there was a way to geocode all of my posts through my editor, ecto.

Way back when I started, I had the idea that I would syndicate the posts to search sites (and actually had a conversation with Glenn about it)... but that was before they went out and started their own local blogs. The only place that we display the geo-coded version of the posts today is in our home search tool where we mix blog articles with home listings on a map. Here is one example: <a>http://annaluther.com/Detail.aspx?mlsno=28014013</a> (look for the "rain drops"). Ed:

The caveat is that I remember signing up a long, long time ago for Rain City Guide and every once in a while I notice a hit or two from the site, but I've never received any noticeably traffic from the site, so I wouldn't spend to much time on it.

It's tough today to determine whether someone's writing about a lot issue, or if they just happen to be a locally product blog. Missy, the outside.in people are very helpful. I'd send them a note.

I submitted my blog and it was accepted, but I can't get any of my posts to show up. Yea, they have my feed, something about putting " outside.in blog map, you'll need to use the outside.in [where] tag with an address." Now what does that mean? Does it mean every post I have to put a google map [where] ? Of course I have read the instructions over and over and something is not clicking. Any suggestions?
