I have to admit that I thought at first when you said this was Local Area that it would be run on a network with no outside of network access (which would be a cool app, I think). Obviously, that is not what this is.

Very nice site though and I do get what you are going for. I imagine though that success will only come with very high adoption rates. Without that there will be no one to post to. And of course, you can't get very high adoption rates without having people to... post to. So it's a bit of a chicken and egg issue. How are you hoping to combat that?
