TBD.com (hyperlocal news)

I wanted to explore TBD.com before its official launch because it is well-funded, has 'old media' staffers and has amassed over 100 bloggers (nee journalists) already.

Can this work? I will use my TECHNOLOGY RANKINGS algorithm to score it. I believe that hyperlocal news sites can work -- provided they seek to maximize their embrace of the meta trends I use to rank technologies and business models.
