Los Angeles Tech Launched - Hot List
I'm happy to announce the launch of the Los Angeles Tech Content Community. This is the beginning of a content community that collects and organizes the best content from blogs and web sites. The goal is to create a place where it's relatively easy to find current content and highly relevant content surrounding Los Angeles Technology.
To be clear Los Angeles Tech is a jump off point. The content comes from other places. This is mostly from bloggers, but also from pages being included by members. The bottom line is that Los Angeles Tech is trying to help find and navigate that content.

Notes on the keyword list. This is based on occurrences during this time period as compared to other time periods. It also includes some other social signals such as traffic, clicks, etc.
Also, I can't claim that I can explain why certain things are in the hot list. The social signals seem obvious in some cases, but not always clear to me in other cases. Still I would claim that most of those posts are pretty good ones - certainly I'm happy seeing that list.
I'm very curious to hear any reactions to this idea of a hot list.
