About bk.ly

bk.ly is a crowd-sourced news site for Brooklyn, NY built upon the locally-branded url shortener bk.ly and locally-specific Twitter hashtag #bknews. Any tweet with either a bk.ly url or #bknews in it will show up in the tweet stream. bk.ly also tracks the most popular local links on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

In the coming weeks, a number of functionalities will continued to be added, including the ability to tweet directly from the site and to embed the most popular links directly on your blog or website. Let us know your ideas by direct messaging us on Twitter at bknews.
