I'm rather skeptical that there are many interesting classes of information for which geography is a good filter. I don't read my local community newspaper because it's boring. On a larger scale reddit/r/australia is more interesting to me.

For most types of content I just want the best in the world and location is irrelevant. If you took the best from just my area I can imagine the quality being way below that and I live in a good area!

The best thing about the internet is how we now instantly have access to the best content and people that exist on earth. It's no longer based on who you happen to be lucky enough to live near, bump into etc...

Yes, internet made information instantly available, but it also creates overflow. We need information to be curated (news or portal), or automatically filtered (recommendation sites, Digg, StumbleUpon). I hope our filtering does not stop the best in the world content to reach your location; we need to tweak our algorithm if it does :)

By the way, we also implemented some "facebook wall", so you can see what your friends are "infected". This helps break the barrier of needing people to travel to, say, a remote location.
