While looking around for local news on Charlotte, I found a very cool local news site that shows stories on the map. Here’s a snippet:

This site will also automatically pickup your blog posts from Blogger, WordPress, Type Press and a few more.

EDIT: OK – 7 hours is a long time for them to pickup my posts and geotag them. This is kind of lame actually. But I will contact them via email before passing summary judgement. ;)

Update: I chatted with Jared from Outside.In and he explained that I had to both add a neighborhood and a place for each story. I noticed that my blog page on their site now found a couple stories but I have yet to see my StoryMap update. Hopefully it will be ready in a few hours. DONE!
