Occasionally, we leave New York and also overhear great quotes that we’d like to use on the site, which we haven’t done when they’re not in an Office or Beach. To encourage our eavesdropping, we’ve launched Overheard Everywhere – The Voice of the Rest (of the world outside of New York).
This site is a bit different than our others because, in addition to posting what we overhear ourselves and what our spies tell us, we will also link to the Best Of the other overheards on the Internet, on the hundreds of imitation overheard sites that have popped up — so, if you or a friend of yours runs your own overheard site, tell us about it, and we’ll read it daily and post and link to our favorites on your site, too.
Let us know what you think at hatemail@overheardinnewyork.com or lovemail@overheardinnewyork.com
