Mission
StirChicago.com is a local media portal with small pockets but big ambitions. Where others look to dumb down information, condensing and distilling it into bite-sized pieces we see a wasted opportunity. The internet is a resource of such vast proportions, the likes of which mankind has never seen (OK, so that's a little dramatic) that even the most local topics can have coverage from dozens of different organizations, reference sources and people. We're looking to bring all those sources together into one unique experience.
Philosophy
Though we are not a content provider, in a traditional sense, we do respect and appreciate the work they do; and we are committed to giving them the appropriate credit. In a sense this site exists only to drive as much traffic to those sites as possible. If you have more questions visit our terms of use, privacy policy or feedback page.
Technology
Using sophisticated API's from some of the best and brightest internet powerhouses (Google, Twitter and Yahoo! to name a few) and an Open Source CMS we've been able to throw together this beta version of what we think the site should be. We will continue to make improvements as our techniques and technology become more improved and efficient.
