Vienna, Va. - Backfence, a company building a network of community websites on which readers contribute the content, said that it has launched a new site in Evanston, Ill. -- the company's first site outside of D.C. and San Francisco. Backfence, which raised $3 million in funding last October, also said that it plans to add sites in Chicago suburbs before the end of the year. The company's sites provide localized news coverage of communities, as well as event listings, reviews and ratings of local businesses and free classifieds.
