About

Blockfeed is a mobile app that features a news stream tailored to the users exact location in the city. The app functions like a magic newspaper that rearranges its front page to show the news closest to the reader. Blockfeed geolocates hundreds of news stories a day in New York City, featuring content from hundreds of the best sources, from the big daily newspapers to the diehard bloggers. Blockfeed allows users to find all of their local news in one place, and its map also lets them search for news stories by location in order to tap into the pulse of a specific area. Blockfeed can help grow audiences, and because all stories link directly to their original sources, it is a good way to boost traffic too. People can also submit their blogs or news sites to have them considered for inclusion in the Blockfeed stream.
