Google launches new crowdsourced community news app called Bulletin

A new app that Google is testing out in the US (specifically in greater Oakland and Nashville) hopes to attract local communities to share important updates about their area as they happen. Bulletin, as the app is called, could work for sending out local updates about emergency situations or share inspiring local stories to other members of the community. Setup seems simple enough and would just need users to use a Google account to get your story out there to a built-in audience. Since the app is currently being pilot tested, we’d have to wait if it’s successful enough to be brought to other areas. If you live in those areas, you can request to join the pilot by submitting this form.
