BostonKnows

I've not posted to my blog in 3 months! No excuse beyond the usual work/holidays/time management issues. But this month saw the launch of the BostonKnows by Stephen Warley. Stephen sees the BostonKnows site as a way for local Bostonians (and surrounding communities) to provide local information to each other. As news becomes ever increasingly dominated by big media companies, truly local news and information often looses out to issues at the national and international levels.

This is where BostonKnows comes into the picture. It is a platform for locals to post interesting Tidbits of information as they uncover them in the course of their daily life in the city. Content and editing are done by the BostonKnows community.

Recent topics included Jetblue in Boston, Cheap Ski Deals and the Toscanini's Saga. Incidentally, while I love Toscanini's ice cream, I'm not sure what to make about the Save Toscanini site.

So if you're new to Boston or lived here your whole life, there's a lot you can contribute to the the BostonKnows site. Sign-up here.
