So basically Skitch for mobile?

Any URL off localweb.is has a geographic boundary of about 2 miles. So you can go to localweb.is/warhammer and post about warhammer, but only others within range can see and reply.

Why on earth would we do this? Because we think the local space fundamentally sucks.. and its too hard to find others in the area with the same interests.. and no one needs yet another app.. and we love the web.

The "front page" of the local web, localweb.is is a list of the urls people have created in the area sorted by activity... basically, whats trending within walking distance.

If you are in SF or Boston, you might see something on the front page, if not, you are likely the first person to view the local web in your 2 mile radius.

Open to all questions/comments. We don't really know what the local web will be, its a bit of an experiment.

Charity Navigator Navigator is actually funded by Dow Chemical, FYI.

Any problem involving network effects is hard to pull off with small or medium services.

Thanks for the feedback, we really tried for it not to sound like an infomercial, while at the same time showing an example of how to move before friends and followers.

We are really nothing like Facebook, and in many ways, the opposite. Id be happy to give you the demo some time. [email protected] or 415-390-6808

Wow, haven't thought about SimAnt in a long time. Loved that game, thanks. And SimTower too.
