I just discovered this site the other day. 

OUTSIDE.in

 

outside.in is a hyperlocal news and information service. They help you find places around you, get news for the places and neighborhoods you really care about, and engage more with your neighbors. They also offer bloggers and online publishers GeoToolkit, a great resource with tools, maps, widgets, and stats - especially if your blog and its information  is centered around a particular city.

What does hyperlocal mean?

Hyperlocal means news and information on a level beyond what traditional media provides. Until now, most "local" sites didn’t actually get more, well, local than cities or towns. They assumed that just because you live in a specific city or town you are looking for the same news as everyone else. Hyperlocal content gives you the news and information for the area right around where you are, like the block around your office or the neighborhood where you live.

So whether you just want to be "neighbor" and sign up to find cool places and news near you - or if you are a publisher/blogger, contribute and get a free "story map" and GeoToolkit - it's  a service that can help publishers of local content categorize their content by location (geo-tagging) for wider distribution and increased traffic. "We've been using it internally for some time to better categorize our feeds and are opening up access to the GeoToolkit for others as well."
