After today's post was published, I ran across this Media Post article:

http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=124731

Here's the quote I found most interesting:

"Pointing to AOL's commitment to invest up to $50 million this year on local initiatives, (Jon)Brod (Director of AOL Ventures)says Patch.org ties into AOL's focus on local content that bridges the gap between real-life offline neighborhoods and online communities. It follows the company's push to hire local journalists to write and post community news."
