Kevin Freitas & FeedTacoma

So last Monday in my Living in a Virtual World class, we had a guest speaker named Kevin Freitas, who is the creator of a website called FeedTacoma.com which pretty much pulls content around the web relating to Tacoma. His website is pretty innovative in the sense that the website updates constantly looking for sites with Tacoma in its [tags].

The features on this site are amazing. First off, there is a page on the site called 'Shop' which side-shops in Tacoma post items that they have for sale. If you choose to purchase any of the items, you can pick them up in-shop at that particular shop. Secondly, the 'Photo' and 'Video' page are cool as well. As stated in the previous paragraph, the site picks up photos and videos around the web with 'Tacoma' in its [tags] and sorts them into the appropriate page. With all of these cool features this site has, you'd think this site would have raked in so much money. Unfortunately, when Kevin created this site, he had no intention of making it a profitable website and has decided to keep it that way.
