Will Patch have every Boston neighborhood covered before boston.com does even one Your Town site in its own city?

The AOL hypermicrominisuperlocal effort is opening up sites for Jamaica Plain and the South End.

But let's see them try to compete in Dorchester. Not likely.

(disclosure: I freelance for Patch)

They poached a friend of mine to be the Weston Patch editor from TechTarget. She wasn't the first to leave there for Patch.

Yes, I have been poached by Patch. I'm building a team to do JP business and organization listings now. Our launch date hasn't been set, but I'll keep you and UHub up to date.

My wife and I bought in JP for a reason. I'm really happy to be launching a JP site.

Is impersonating her with a misspelled last name supposed to be some kind of joke?

Nope, that was actually just a horrible typo on my part. Apologies!

Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and Charlestown are not far behind, too.
