About The Windy Citizen

About company

The Windy Citizen brings Chicagoans the best of the local web by letting them share, rate and discuss their favorite local news, photos, videos and more. It's a crowd-powered front page for the Windy City. Members vote up and down the latest submissions and the most popular ones float to the top. It's a mechanism appropriated from popular tech news sites and applied to a brand new problem, local. Quirky blog commentary, spot photography and round-ups of upcoming events are getting play alongside the most interesting stories from the local press. Citizen journalists who go local now have a new tool to build their audience.
