Hyperpublic Wants To ?Structure The Data In Your Local World?

One of my big predictions for 2011 is that we are going to start to see open databases for places spring up and take hold. Hyperpublic, which just launched today, is doing just that by creating an open database of people, places, and things tied to specific locations. "We are trying to structure the data in your local world," says CEO and founder Jordan Cooper, who is also a partner at Lerer Ventures. In the video after the jump, he gives me a quick demo of the service. Hyperpublic has raised a $1.2 million seed round from Lerer Ventures, Ron Conway's SV Angel, RRE Ventures, NextView Ventures, Hudson River Angels, Thrive Capital, and Softbank.
