I think you've built up a worthwhile and engaging model for community funded reporting. I think the idea you've created here has worth, especially when stacked upon existing services. For instance I'm in the midst of launching a local blog aggregator and pushing a local crowdsourced/crowdfunded photo book. I've got a couple other ideas as well but once I start generating real traffic and a genuine community I'd love to add community funded reporting to the mix. Hi Dave
