StreetAdvisor: Local At The Micro-Level

Mar 28, 2007 at 11:57am ET by Greg Sterling

Maybe you’ve heard of “hyper-local?” Now let’s invent a new term, “micro-local.” That’s what StreetAdvisor (spotted via Mashable) seems to be going for. A nice looking site in the now familiar “Web 2.0″ style, StreetAdvisor seeks to make information even more local, down to the street level — literally. It’s a user-generated content site targeting would-be home buyers. Given that it’s in the real estate segment it presumably will offer advertising to local agents, mortgage brokers and so on.
