MyLocalTribune makes it easy to find information on news and events in your local area. The website locates you automatically using your IP address, but if that’s not the area you’re interested in, you can also enter in your location manually.
Once you’ve clicked on your location, MyLocalTribune presents you with a list of tweets from/mentioning your town, a list of blog entries and a list of events. In my case, the “events” tab was blank, but of course that would be different if I lived somewhere where things actually happen.
All in all, I think MyLocalTribune is a nice presentation of local data. It was not particularly useful for me, but I could see how it would be useful in a larger town or city, or even as a way to track tweets and blog reactions during a major event. Maybe pulling local police booking information would liven it up a bit for those of us in rural areas, LOL.
Seriously, though, I would suggest pulling information from more sources, local news, in addition to Twitter and blogs.
