The Best Way to Become the Hub of your Local Community with…


Twitter is reaching the every day consumer


On April 17, 2009,Oprah introduced Twitter on her show

Oprah with Twitter co-founder Ev Williams


The next day, Twitter added 1 million + new members


Twitter is going mainstream

I think it’s pretty obvious that Twitter is on a trajectory to become one of the major media networks, A Turner, Fox, NBC, Time Warner, Viacom , Disney.

Twitter conversations happen

Locally


How do you leverage Twitter’s remarkable capacity to bring together a local community?


Introducing Breaking NewsCity Sites


Breaking News City Sites aggregate the best local Twitter feeds to show what’s going in real time


Local news and events, and reviewsare up to date and open for conversation


Anybody can participate in conversations using Twitter #hashtags


We believe Twitter fills the advertising void for local merchants by providing a free way to reach and interact with their customers


Why?

Local merchants usually have no presence online…

They compete with the Amazonset al


Also,

Google does not index in real time.

Try searching for a sale on tennis racquets in your city…

You still have to phone each store to see if

they’re having a sale


Twitter is perfect for Local Marketing


And by extension, Local Advertising


On Breaking News City Sites, local merchants can broadcast their daily deals and chat with customers


Our proposition:

Offer your community a Breaking News City Site as a public service *

(* We’ll help you)


First step:

Mobilize your community


Find the Twitterers in your community

On May 1, 2009, everybody tweets their zip code(i.e. #94118)on #LocalDay

(organized bye-democracy.org)

Craigslist’s Craig is promoting it


Next, organize them

Build a Twitter network


Finally,meet the community

Organize a Tweetup at your coffee shop


And show them how your Breaking News City Site will help them get to know each other


Domus Consulting Group helps you build a Breaking News site for yourcity


It takes 3-4 hours to build a Breaking News City Site.
