AskMetafilter for Vancouver
Brooks Duncan writes with a new project he’s launched:
I know that like myself you’re a big fan of Ask Metafilter. I love that site but one thing I have always thought to myself is “I wish there was a Vancouver version of it so I could ask local-type questions that wouldn’t be boring/annoying to the rest of the world”. I thought that enough times that I decided to do something about it.
It’s online at http://vancouver.asklocally.com. I figure if there is demand, it could be rolled out to other cities as well. The content is kind of light right now (since it just “went live” tonight), but hopefully once the word gets out it will grow.
Seems like a good idea to me. Right now there’s just a query about where to get good Indian food in Vancouver. I posed a question about the future of the athlete’s village for the 2010 Olympics. I also asked where to buy Moleskine products locally, as a reader posted that question in my comments.
Maybe Brooks should hook up with those UrbanVancouver dudes–they need (and I think they’d agree with me) to get their content consistently better.
