Interesting project.

Nice, but both our hometown papers had it covered well before the Chron decided to run it:

I wasn't trying to compare papers. Just posted something I thought was interesting.

Correction, there is one 'hometown paper,' not two. The Deer Park Broadcaster is a weekly newspaper that is delievered to just about every home in Deer Park (Cirulation 12,000). Insidedp.com is a website with largely unverifiable usage (page clicks hardly count for readership). From what I see, the website is more of a news clearing house based entirely on the internet, kinda like topix but hyper-local. There is a major difference between a printed newspaper and a simple website that reposts press releases.

Ok why didn't I snap to that? insidedp is not a newspaper/paper.
