Zirana is Tops!

Last night, I had more time to explore Zirana, and I was delighted to find that the site is not limited to Cupertino. It has full information and news for almost all Bay area communities: Campbell, Cupertino, Fremont, Hayward, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, Milpitas, Mountain View, Newark, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Rosa, Saratoga, Sunnyvale and Union City.
The coverage is extensive and everything from local happenings to merchant reviews are included in an easy to use format.
Of course, I had to check out Sunnyvale first. There was coverage on the recent elections, upcoming activities like the Seniors' Dance on Wednesday, and even an article on the top five pizza places (with coupons!) There are very few paid ads, and there is an opportunity for people to advertise items for sale, like cars and electronics. I particularly liked the community calendar that they include for each city, where you can check out upcoming activities at a glance.
