Welcome to outside.in! We hope you enjoy the site and find things of interest to you here. Please keep in mind as you explore that the site is still very alpha, having just been completed this morning after a mad dash to the finish line on the part of our programmers over the past four days. If you find anything that doesn’t seem right, please let us know at bugs@outside.in and we’ll fix it as quickly as possible.

At the moment, the site’s focus is limited to neighborhoods in the United States. We have already begun the groundwork for bringing outside.in to Canada, the UK and Australia and should have those countries up and running soon. We will update you on developements in this matter here on the blog.

Also, bear in mind that what you see today is just an outline of what we intend to grow the site into. In the coming days and weeks we will be unveiling many additional features. First and foremost we’re going to get our submission queue for suggested links and blogs up and running. We’re also working on a content ratings system for users, feedback systems, expanded user visibility on the site, and a host of other ideas as well.

This blog will be the spot where announcements are made regarding these developments, so check back often. It should also serve as a place where you, the visitor, can add input on what we’re doing right or wrong, send us ideas, and generally get involved in the development of the site. As such, feel free to post comments here as often as you like.
