Toby: To be fair, the one complaint you've linked to there is actually from mid-February, which was during a down-time when the editor-ship of the blog was being passed over to us, and which was also before we'd even started doing the daily Elite -ist features. I like to think we do have a lot of local content here, what with the daily Philly news posts, the many previews of local events (including music, film, and comedy), the interviews of local folks, the reviews of our favorite things in the city, etc., etc.

I only took a look over here since someone is complaining about it on The Gothamist Fourm. I do like the daily -ist roundup as it is quite intresting as a supplemental companion to Gothamist almost like those little filler newspaper stories or those wacky little stories Chuck and Sue have fun with at 11:33 during the last 90 seconds of the 11 PM newscast right before the Tonight Show comes on. Hopefully you guys will get some more local content, although I'd probably just stick to Gothamist in that case since the only thing I look at here are the -ist roundups.

Oops, the other Jill got in ahead of me there. Sorry for the echo chamber.

It's a daily post, jillY.

Every day, jillY. Every day. We do this because the other -ist sites have really great content that you'd miss if you didn't read them all. The weekly all-ist round-up is great, but each -ist submits its own pieces, so it's the work they think is best. And listen, if you don't like the post, you can always scroll past it.
