AOL had a service called Patch, this is more than just about the place, it pools all news local to the community. Is that what you are trying to achieve with Village?
I liked design and domain name. Good luck!
- steve-benjamins 12y agoThank you! Yes, I remember Patch. I was always rooting for it. Village is similar: for example, in addition to posting links, users can create photos, maps and essays (sort of similar to the self-publishing of Patch). In some ways, Village is sort of a mix between Patch and Hacker News.
- fibbery 12y agoPatch still exists. Are you talking about it in past tense because it isn't good anymore?
- steve-benjamins 12y agoErr. I thought it had been closed- but you're right, it still exists. Earlier this year AOL sold it to Hale Global (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304149404579322912487687196 http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230414940...), maybe that's where I got confused.
