Local Startup: 600Block, Discover Baltimore !

Recently while attedning SocialDevCamp in Baltimore, I met up with the founders and creators of a new local review site called 600Block, Patti Chan and Tom Poe.

Patti took some time to tell me about the project and what it was all about.  It sounded really cool and I was anxiouos to learn more.  600Block is a local review and discovery site for the Baltimore area only in its curretn state.  There is a social aspect to it, as you can add friends to see what they have discovered and reviewed in their area.  In addition there are some really cool features, like Daily Specials.  This is a listing of specials places are offering that you can take advantage of.  It may be $1 drafts or a special on steaks.   Check out the video here with an overview of the site and all the features.

As you can see there is some really cool ideas packed in here.  I think they are onto something really cool and look forward to them succeeding in Baltimore and adding new cities, maybe DC ! soon.

Our area has some people doing some really great things, like the Loladex guys and their Facebook app for local “trusted” reviews, the Localist team (also from Baltimore) which we reviewed recently.  I think Patti and Tom are onto a good thing here and I ask you all head over and support them in their beta and forward.
