If you send me a link and a photo (and a location) - I will post it - promote it - and SEO it. I make nothing off the site - there is no GOOGLE adwords here - as a naughty picture appeared on the site - the problem with the automatic scripts I have - I have no control over what people post. I am interested in what is happening on the local level. Mostly I just re-post tweets - so they get SEO... plus it is interesting to hear from the guy on the ground.

I have found that twitter is the best place to find breaking news - especially as you can drill down to a given location - facebook - is slower to break news... it is almost that people need validation that the content is "cool" before they post.... and LinkedIN - people only read something if someone cool has liked a post.. cool being - someone who has jobs on offer. I have not looked at Pintrest yet..... I guess I don't have the energy for it.

Ultimately I wanted to do a location based - Search Engine - with everything from - the history of a place - to even its scientific soil composition - but yeh - I'd need some big servers - and some serious scripts - parsing all that dam data.
