Short Take: Knight Ridder, Koz.com form community alliance

Online community builder Koz.com and the Knight Ridder Real Cities network are joining to provide community tools to Real Cities users. Koz.com's Community Publishing System (CPS) will provide the tools that link existing community organizations, institutions, and agencies with their users and with each other to Knight Ridder's network of more than 45 Web sites. The sites include regional portals and city resource sites that provide local online services such as classified advertising, entertainment, online shopping, news, and yellow page listings.
