In case you wondered what a local news site developed by Google would look like, wonder no more.
Google executive Tim Armstrong’s “secret plan to save the local news business” hit public awareness last night in a post by Valleywag titled At Last, Google Funds a Bailout for Reporters. While Armstrong works at Google as head of their advertising operations, Patch is actually powered by Polar Capital Group, Armstrong’s private investment company.
Patch, which has 20 employees and a plan to hire one journalist in every town it expands to, is now available only in 3 towns in New Jersey: Maplewood, Milburn and South Orange.
Gawker wonders whether Patch could be a Trojan horse for Google to get into the local news business? While it’s unlikely there are explicit plans, the lessons learned by Armstrong and Patch will naturally make their way into the thinking in Google’s local products group. (It’s a larger scale of what MSNBC’s Cory Bergman is doing with his independent newsblog MyBallard.)
Phil Meyer, my former professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, and Jeff Jarvis are on the editorial advisory board, so the New York City-based team is getting good advice. (More information and players here.)
However it evolves, Patch is yet another drip into the growing pool of entrepreneurial journalism enterprises. With Google money behind it, though, this drip is bound to make a bigger splash.

Thanks for discussing your ideas. I’d also like to state that video games have been actually evolving. Technology advances and improvements have served create genuine and active games. These types of entertainment video games were not as sensible when the concept was first of all being used. Just like other styles of electronics, video games too have had to evolve via many ages. This is testimony on the fast progression of video games.
Thankses, I love my animals, you helped me much with taking care of him.
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
Yet another issue is that video games are generally serious anyway with the major focus on learning rather than leisure. Although, it comes with an entertainment element to keep your kids engaged, every single game is normally designed to develop a specific expertise or curriculum, such as numbers or science. Thanks for your post.

I have figured out some important matters through your blog post post. One other stuff I would like to express is that there are lots of games available on the market designed specially for toddler age young children. They involve pattern acknowledgement, colors, pets, and patterns. These usually focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This will keep little children occupied without feeling like they are learning. Thanks
