Interesting Washington Post article on Backfence, the struggling local news site. Contains useful insights for other media companies big and small who are going after the hyperlocal market.

Brooklyn goes hyperlocal

Hyperlocal Media just launched a beta version of Until Monday for the Brooklyn market. Until Monday does a paticularly good job of combining rich functionality and content in a playful Ajax UI.

From the press release: "Popular blogger and Six Apart Vice President, Anil Dash said of Until Monday, 'It's a beautiful community-based events site that's as attractive as it is useful.' Mena Trott, Six Apart's President and Co-Founder, said, 'the user interface just feels good to click around in.'"

Hyperlocal is new to me, but they seem like a pretty neat company—check out the other products they have in queue.
