Today, SFGate.com, part of the the Hearst Corporation, and Pointslocal,  have launched the first of several planned hyperlocal sites: “In Alameda” (http://www.sfgate.com/widgets/hyperlocal/alameda/index.html).

Using the Pointslocal platform, SFGate is aggregating hundreds of regional blogs and media sources and geo- and topically tagging that content. SFGate is using both the hosted platform and the Geopost Widget to create a new hyperlocal experience for their audience throughout the Bay Area.
