I am super bummed about this. :-(

I wrote some thoughts on my blog: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/rip-everyblock/

Adrian (EveryBlock founder)




So where to from here Adrian?

Do you know whether the current team is staying on at NBC or are they looking for new gigs?

And it'd be interesting to hear what you and the other founders have been working on as well.


I've been working on Soundslice full time since I left EveryBlock at the end of August 2012: http://www.soundslice.com/ (blog post: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/goodbye-everyblock/)

It has nothing to do with local news or journalism -- it's a music thing. The main thing it has in common with EveryBlock is that it's fundamentally about creating structure from chaos, which is what I like to do.

From the post above:

NBC News acquired msnbc.com last year and now has decided to shut down the site and let go all 10 employees.

I'm not Adrian, but I'll answer for a small part: Adrian released a guitar album, and made http://www.soundslice.com/ (a guitar tab site, that plays tabs to Youtube videos)


Ok...soundslice is fantastic! What a great tool!


I remember watching that come to life, Wilson's work on it and the maps etc. A fantastic piece of development.
