Connecting Communities Through Technology, Ventown Connects Your Community
Ventown can connect local people with similar interests; or it can grow a community of people with mutual interests that live in the same geographic area. Imagine, for a minute that you like to go bicycling, or you paint landscapes or portraits, or you are into origami – but most of the people you know like to go bowling or play baseball. Ventown Community Online could help you connect and get together with other people with similar interests. For that matter, it could also help your city, town, local government, businesses and civic agencies connect with people in the community and improve community life. It’s difficult to do that with those big, worldwide services; you connect with the World Wide Web, and it is hard to filter out people and content in your local area, let alone build a sense of community. Community Online filters responses so that you receive the ones that are local to you, and relevant to you.
Here is how it works:
First, you join Ventown. It is free to sign up as an individual or as a community. Each community will have a community manager. Each manager will work with inviting people, businesses, and organizations to join the local community hub. Soon, you will be setting up meetings, posting interesting things about your community and events and locating people who also like to engage in things similar to those you enjoy. The more people who join Community Online in your area, the richer the experience possible for you, your friends and neighbors, and for many people in the community.
You can become a community manager by signing up, and acting as a leader for your community. Ventown provides the platform, but it community managers who will drive the enthusiasm for the project. It’s an honorary position for some, others will earn money, and still others will be employed by their own organizations as part of their interest in building community. Ventown will help you set up your hub, and will check in periodically to see how you are doing.
Of course, the more people who join, the better the experience that will be available through your Community Online. Not only will your hub join people of like minds, it will connect various community services, businesses and organizations. The more people who join and contribute, the greater the chance for making connections. As more people join, chat, post and generally share ideas, the more valuable a resource it becomes.
You can support Ventown Community Online in several ways. First, visit Joe Murphy’s Indiegogo crowdfunding website, Connecting Communities Through Technology. Joe Murphy is the Vice President in charge of promotions and mobile apps. The company is headed up by Jay Rosenbluth, founder and CEO. You can donate money to the crowdfunding campaign (of course); you can become a community manager, or you can take your contribution to the next level and become a sponsor or partner. Perks for pledging money to the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign include stickers, 25% off on the program, coaching for your business, becoming a Partner 2000, getting an iPad mini, or even 25 licenses for business outlets. If you are not prepared to do any of those things, but think that Ventown is a worthwhile idea, you can recommend your community for a Community Online hub by sending an email to Ventown. They will evaluate your request, and if your email gets them excited about your community, they will provide your community with a hub, and find a Community Manager to maintain it.
Whereas most social media connects the world, Ventown Community Online connects people in local communities. It is a way to grow friendships and relationships with people you can easily meet face-to-face, yet might otherwise not even know that they exist. If you are a business person or member of an organization, Community Online provides a way to promote your business or organization to the people who matter most – those who live in your hometown.
