EveryBlock.com Launches!

A new informational site, EveryBlock, launched yesterday! This unique resource allows you to find out what’s happening nearby. And by “nearby” we really do mean it. The site, which currently has information for Chicago, San Francisco and New York, will index information that is local to your neighborhood, down to the specific block that you live on. If you haven’t already, you should definitely head over and try it out. We can hope that more cities will be added in the near future. We are proud to be hosting it here at (mt) Media Temple.

EveryBlock.com was co-founded by Adrian Holovaty, who also happens to be one of the creators of the Django framework and one of the co-authors of The Django Book. Accordingly, we’d like to remind everybody of the cool Django beta program that we have going right now.

If you have an existing (gs) Grid-Service with us, then you are eligible to apply to the beta. We are anxious to get as much quality feedback as we possibly can, so as an incentive, we are going to offer a free printed copy of The Django Book to the top 25 participants. What are you waiting for, go sign up!
