Daily Blog: TownSync.com

Is Facebook coming to your town? Actually, it's called TownSync.com:

TownSync.com is a new service that hopes to bring social media to smaller cities and towns. The website is similar to Facebook. People can log on, look for their friends and communicate about what's going on.

But TownSync tries to keep its focus on building internet communities within real communities. "While many new sites are struggling to aggregate local news, blogs and information, TownSync has taken a different path by giving local areas a way to strengthen and build their community with those around them."

Time will tell if TownSync.com will become an important part of how people build community.

I am very excited about this site. Can't wait for people to start joining my town (saratoga springs Ny).
Good post.
