Presenting Yourlocal.com

Apparently print media is dying, which I would imagine would be kind of a panic scenario for those of you who rely upon The L's exhaustive, savvy event listings and our take on the culture and institutions of New York on a local level.

But fear not! Now there is YourLocal, a new social-network website that's actually about, you know, social networking: you take the L's  NYC event listings (or add your own), and build up your own personal interwebnet of friends, and a personal matrix of the concerts, bars, shops, art galleries, readings, markets, and so on, that make up your, well, local life. (People Who Live Otherwhere Than New York: Fear not, YourLocal will soon spread like kudzu 'round our great nation, with foundation content provided by similarly inclined alt-weeklies from a number of other cities. Though of course we rely on You, the User, to make YourLocal look like... your local.)

So come join us at YourLocal and do up your New York all web 2.0 style. We're waiting for you, with a tray of cookies and a kettle on in case you want some tea, we have a number of different kinds of tea as well as milk, sugar, honey and lemon juice I think somewhere in the fridge if you take your tea with lemon, do you we don't remember we're sorry, if you're hungry we can make you a sandwich do you want a sandwich?
