InstantNewsNetwork.com buys FortBendNow.com, plans expansion across Houston & Dallas

InstantNewsNetwork.com announced today it has bought FortBendNow.com and plans to launch constantly updated neighborhood news sites across Houston and Dallas.

InstantNewsNetwork.com will expand FortBendNow.com, immediately adding two additional mobile journalists to the staff and providing a redesign that will bring additional features to the site, including marketplace and business directories.

InstantNewsNetwork.com's partners include Bob Dunn, the original founder of FortBendNow.com, Clayton Harris, most recently director of business operations for Houston Community Newspapers, and Lane Smith, former manager of online development for Houston Community Newspapers.

Planned for the first quarter 2008 are three more neighborhood news sites, in West University, Bellaire and Cinco Ranch. Within 18 months, InstantNewsNetwork.com expects to be managing more than 20 neighborhood news web sites in key Houston and Dallas markets.
