This crazy World Wide Web made the world much smaller, true. But what I have always found more interesting is how the same technology can bring communities, even neighborhoods, closer together.

That was part of the thinking behind the lincolnblog experiment. (Which reminds me… anyone want to take over a site?) outside.in builds on this idea by acting as an agregator of local content generated by various sources.

Pretty cool.

So far, it’s dominated by the usual metropolitan suspects Get started, Lincoln, Nebraska.
