Ted Mann wrote a new blog post: InJersey featured on Hyperlocal 101 I was recently interviewed by Shields Bialasik, who runs LocalsGuide (devoted to Ashland, Oregon). We talked about all things hyperlocal, including our efforts here on InJersey, some of our competitors, and the future of niche websites like these. I don't quite know if I agree with Shield's identifying me as a "hyperlocal expert" -- like everyone else [...]

Steven DiMartino wrote a new blog post: Spring is in the air Spring is certainly in the air! March Madness is, well, madness. Spring training is in full swing, with the Mets having a winning record by the way (!), and temperatures in the 60's and 70's. Yes, that's right. The seventies can be expected for many locations, especially just away from the coast and urban locations. High [...]

Brian Sullivan commented on the blog post Christie's School Cuts: Freehold Districts React It is evident that life as a school administrator has become much more difficult, but, what we are seeing is the inevitable. Christy has inherited a very broken state. The past several governors and the legislature have done an awful job for many years. There are so many things that have to change in order [...]

Steven DiMartino commented on the blog post Union Workers Protest Christie Cuts on Route 79 The party is over for the unions. Perhaps the union members should ask that their union bosses take a pay cut. One way or another, cuts need to be made whether they like it or not. I also find it insulting that the union members demand the governor negotiate with them. The union had their [...]
