A Look at Chicago Examinier

A group of friends and I had a lovely dinner tonight with Chicago Dining Examiner Emily Szopa. To prep for the evening, I did a little advance surfing on Examiner.com Chicago. I'd never really looked at the site before, and I like its concept.

The idea is that you can get tips from local insiders on just about anything and everything Chicago related. The few articles I read were useful, short, and easily scalable. The content categories are very specific, catering well to Internet content. And the site also appears to be updated constantly because so many people contribute. Many voices in one place… it's kind of cool. The result really doesn't feel like a traditional news site, but the design makes it feel much more comprehensive than something like the –ist network.

This is just a first impression. But I'll go back to Examiner.com because I want to see more.
