Trying to localize the internet is like trying to organize a group of farm animals by specie, size, and age. It’s been missed 100′s of times… Directory structures, Keywords, and even alphabetically. I think facebook and linkedin are doing the best job of networking people, but we still need a way to network the businesses in the area, the houses for sale in the area, etc. There is big money in local markets and if you can think of a way to fill this gap, you can easily become rich and famous (okay… famous in the world’s geek-dom).

I think linkedin is a great start but even though most people are “linked” due to their locality, it doesn’t force us to be local.
