The Local Innovator’s Dilemma (2011)

<i>It is not impossible to crack the nut (and I’ve came across a few companies in the last month or so that are almost there).</i><p>As this is from 2011 (and the early success examples Groupon and Living Social are now, at least, doubtful); I would like to know which were these <i>almost there</i> companies.<p>And here is the next post about the <i>solution</i>... <a href="http://www.muckercapital.com/the-local-innovators-solution-3/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.muckercapital.com&#x2F;the-local-innovators-solution-3...</a>

Really interesting - the view from two or three years ago that Local was where it was at I felt even over here, and it is still a dream for many. It&#x27;s just not something that fits with the one big server farm and the whole world connects to it.<p>Local will be solved not by one company winning it all, but by mesh networks redefining how we talk to each other - from hubs to meshes. Reflecting reality again.

Needs a [2011]. Evidence here: <a href="http://www.muckercapital.com/blog/page/4/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.muckercapital.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;page&#x2F;4&#x2F;</a>
