Hi, my name's Brad Flora and I helm a social, local news startup called The Windy Citizen. I'm a Medill MSJ graduate ('08) and am very interested in hacker journalism, i.e. applying technology to help make sense of vast amounts of data. With the Windy Citizen we're using technology to give Chicagoans a central place to rate and discuss local news, a la Reddit or Digg. I'd be happy to talk more about it.
I'm the guy who set up J-Startup News and who runs the Twitter account for it. I live in Chicago with a rotating cast of characters who turn up from Craigslist. I'm still working on the work/life balance stuff.
