This application brings you the latest local news, sports, events, and jobs from the San Francisco Bay Area. The application aggregates updates from local newspapers, TV / radio stations, blogs, community web sites, event sites, and major job boards. It is updated throughout the day at every 10-15 minutes. You can share any update / story directly with your Facebook friends via Facebook Connect, and / or email the story to anyone. You can also save any story for later use.

When you quit the app (or interrupted by a phone call), the app remembers your last section, and loads that section when you starts the next time. That saves you time if you are only interested in one section of updates at most of the time.

This app is indispensable for Bay Area residents, as well as anyone who visits the Bay Area / Silicon Valley!
