#5 Patch

"Founded by former Google sales chief Tim Armstrong before he was CEO of AOL, local online news reporting hub Patch has since been acquired by AOL and is now the core of the company's hyper-local media strategy. With a network of more than 500 community news reporting sites, Patch now rivals much, maybe most, of local newspaper and TV coverage. It's also becoming a big factor in AOL's attempts to convince Madison Avenue to act local, even as it thinks global."
