EveryBlock, a hyperlocal site that calls itself a "geographic filter, a newsfeed for your neighborhood or even your block", has expanded to cover three new cities: Washington, DC, Boston and Seattle. EveryBlock now covers a total of eight cities, with Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and San Fransisco rounding things out. From the EveryBlock blog on this week's announcement of three new cities:
We've chosen these based on a combination of user feedback/demand and general "EveryBlockiness" of the cities. All three are really great, vibrant places, with plenty of interesting news and public data available at the block level. If you live in these cities, or have friends there, please take a look and help us spread the word. Another major change to our site is our new home page. Now that we're in eight cities, we've redesigned it to accommodate the longer list.
For an in-depth look into EveryBlock, the Chicago Tribune did a profile of founder Adrian Holovaty this past weekend.
