Blottr was a citizen journalism news website based in the United Kingdom and started in August 2010 by entrepreneur Adam Baker.
Originally featuring hyperlocal news in London, the site grew to cover a total of eight UK cities: Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds, Leicester and Manchester.
Users who sign up for Blottr could add text, tags, videos and photos to one another's news stories in a wiki-platform.
Blottr circulated news through its website, Twitter, Facebook and a weekly digest email.
