About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
In India's Business Standard (not to be confused with America's Industry Standard) Jai Arjun Singh has written a piece on metro-blogging and given major props to the best of all the metro-blogging sites, New York City's very own Gothamist:
"Surfing the New York blog Gothamist a few days ago, stopping every few minutes to marvel at the magnitude of information available, I wondered when we might have something comparable for Indian cities. Not just a static, sporadically updated website but a living, breathing resource on the city run by knowledgeable people... Gothamist is one of the most comprehensive blogs around. Even if you haven’t been to New York, or don’t plan a trip there anytime too soon, you might easily get addicted to it."
Maybe the biggest compliment came at the end of the piece, where Jai Arjun Singh expresses hope that there will soon be an Indian version of Gothamist: "Incidentally, Gothamist has expanded into a network of blogs that cover 11 cities, including London, Shanghai, San Francisco and Paris... We’re awaiting Delhiist.com and Mumbaiist.com."
