Shout Outs!

We got some requests via Twitter for plugs.  Here are the 3 sites that made the cut:

OutAboutBrooklyn: This blog hits the nail on the head when it comes to placeblogging.  They go to places and write about them, and they do it frequently. With the added angle of seeking out LGBT friendly places, OutAboutBrooklyn found their niche and filled it.  Check out this post about The Clover Club for a great example.

Coovents: Never pay full price for a drink in New York again. Coovents lists Happy Hours in The East Village, The Lower East Side, The West Village, Midtown, Hell’s Kitchen, and Williamsburg.  They show you active happy hours in real time along with a countdown to its end, as well as what’s coming for the rest of the day.  If you’re social and of limited means, Coovents is a terrific resource.

60 Rindge: Relatively new to the blogosphere, 60 Rindge covers Somerville & Cambridge, MA with a base in Davis Square. It shows a lot of promise but needs some encouragement to write more!  So, go to his site, leave some comments, and enjoy watching his site take shape.

We based this round of plugs on hyperlocalness, utility, and need (would our plug make a difference?).  Want to see your site get plugged?  Sign up for GeoToolkit, get a map for your blog, and leave a comment.

  • Hi,

    Thanks for writing about Coovents. I hope the outside.in team and your users enjoy the happy hours!

    The first official Coovents Get Happy Hour is tomorrow at Tonic East (29th and 3rd Ave.) from 8-10pm. We'll have free drinks.

    I hope you can come,

    Greg
