Say adios to Town Online

GateHouse Media is moving all the Town Online sites it inherited from the Herald (which inherited them from CNC) to its Wicked Local platform. For example, here's Wicked Local Roslindale. New look for the sites, as well - and commenting on all articles, which is cool and all, but will a newspaper ever figure out that maybe you should be aggregating all those comments into a central discussion area as well, rather than just leaving all these threads hanging out all over the place, forcing people looking for a good argument to skip all over the place?

Also: Given that GateHouse papers surround Boston like a donut, it would be cool if the search tool gave you the option to limit your search by paper or community. If I'm on the Roslindale site, and I search on "Washington Street," chances are pretty good I don't want to see links to stories about Washington Street in Canton.

Wicked!
Wicked!
