A Local Radar For Your Life

by Dan Gould

Local news and event aggregator Outside.in, which we’ve mentioned previously, has released a new feature called Radar. The service gathers even finer data on what’s happening in a local area. You now can search by specific addresses as opposed to just cities and neighborhoods. Radar combs through twitter, forum posts, blogs and news sources then displays a big list of things going on outside your front door.
