NYConvergence reader Simon Owens informed us via e-mail of a new, Digg-style Web site for NYC-related stories called NYC.is developed by a as-of-yet unidentified 24-year old Columbia University graduate student Susannah Vila. According to Owen, the site allows visiting NY users to vote "up" or "down" on a story to get it onto the site's front page rather than use the "editor-curator" approach.
