Should you be using the Front Porch Forum? Or will Facebook Work?

March 11th, 2011

Yesterday, I highlighted the Front Porch Forum as a great example of a social media tool that facilitates the growth of community. Initiated before the rise of online social networking, the tool enables neighbors to connect with each other via online forums. Here’s a video with its founder, Michael Wood-Lewis describing how it works.

(source: “Front Porch Forum Helps Build Community - One Neighborhood at a Time,” Champlain Initiative, Youtube, Sept. 4, 2009) In the video, Michael describes how the Front Porch Forum is different from other forums of social media, like Facebook, which brings up an interesting question: Should you be using the Front Porch Forum instead of Facebook?

Which tool should you use?

Regular readers know that I regularly encourage rural communities to use Facebook as a tool to create a sense of community among residents and to reach out to people who care about the community but might have moved away. In many ways, I’m recommending that people try to showcase the authentic relationships that already exist in rural communities in a way that helps market the community. The Front Porch Forum is different in that it is designed for local uses only. People have to live in the neighborhood in order to participate. It is also different in that its central purpose is to increase face-to-face interaction among residents. For instance, Erik Filkorn, from Richmond, Vermont, is quoted in a Yankee Magazine article saying:

The real feedback loop is on the main street of town. You'll be coming out of the store and someone will say, 'Hey Erik, I saw the thing you wrote. Here's what I think.' You're not just creating an avatar and hanging out in a singles bar in Second Life--not that I would do that. But this is very much grounded in the flesh-and-blood community." (source: "Vermont: Neighbors and Online Networks Local networks are bringing people together in Vermont," Bill McKibben, Yankee Magazine, March/April 2010)

That type of face-to-face interaction is possible on Facebook, but I doubt its common.

It’s about your goals

I think there is value in both approaches. If your goal is increase the face-to-face interaction among local residents, the Front Porch Forum approach will better facilitate conversation among local residents, leading to greater face-to-face interaction. If your goals also include connecting with people who have moved away from your community and people who might be interested in moving to your community, then maybe Facebook is your tool. There’s no perfect answer. The point is, be clear about your goals first. If you are, you have a much greater chance of success

Buy Naltrexone Without Prescription

April 6th, 2010

Buy Naltrexone Without Prescription, Yesterday, Keloland TV in Sioux Falls featured Tea, SD and the Facebook page created for the community by its economic development director, Jenni White.

(Note: Thanks to Jonathan Garcia answering the "help request" I posted on Twitter last night. I initially had to post a link to the Keloland site because their embed code wasn't working. Purchase Naltrexone, Jonathan sent me this YouTube file, which I'm able to embed Thanks Jonathan!)

White says she created the tool as a way to share information with the community's residents. Even though it's only been around for a few months, order Naltrexone no prescription, Naltrexone in india, the page has attracted almost 400 fans. Nice job Jenni.

But Tea is not the leader in the pack of South Dakota communities using Facebook. I marvel at how effective Miller, next day Naltrexone, Online buy Naltrexone without a prescription, SD has been with their Facebook page. Any community of approximately 1500 residents that is pushing 1000 Facebook fans is doing a remarkable job. And there are others. I know of half dozen other communities that are using Facebook pretty effectively, Naltrexone discount, Buy Naltrexone no prescription, including Lennox, Miner County, buy Naltrexone without a prescription, Real brand Naltrexone online, Chamberlain, Webster, Naltrexone price, coupon, Buy Naltrexone online no prescription, Deuel County, and Oldham, Naltrexone trusted pharmacy reviews. Delivered overnight Naltrexone, But you know what? Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that so many communities using Facebook. After all, South Dakota a national leader in our percentage of Facebook users.

Mashable give us the goods

Yes, fast shipping Naltrexone, Order Naltrexone from United States pharmacy, you heard me right. Yesterday, I learned about South Dakota's high adoption rate for Facebook in research posted by Muhammad Saleem on Mashable.

In short, buy Naltrexone from canada, Where can i buy cheapest Naltrexone online, the research tells us that South Dakota has the highest percentage of its population with Facebook accounts-coming in at 31.1%. (Get all the goods with the graphics below or at the Mashable article. )

I'm proud of this statistic, Buy Naltrexone Without Prescription. It wasn't all that long ago that I considered South Dakotans as social media/networking laggards. When we started ReImagine Rural in the fall of 2008, purchase Naltrexone, Naltrexone discount, I conducted an informal survey of rural community development leaders asking about their social media usage. I didn't find anyone with a Facebook account (myself included), and only 10% said they read blogs with any regularity.

Why should we care?

The Mashable research has me thinking about what this means for South Dakota. I'm actually perplexed by why our Facebook usage is so high, where can i order Naltrexone without prescription, Over the counter Naltrexone, especially when compared to our neighboring states. Why do you think that is, cod online Naltrexone. Naltrexone in usa, But the bottom line is that Facebook is a great tool for South Dakota communities to use as they attempt to "build community." In rural communities, we used to have stronger "third places" that helped build this sense of community.

In their absence, buy Naltrexone without prescription, Naltrexone medication, I think Facebook and other social networking tools offer an alternative for getting people together for conversations that helps build trust. That doesn't mean face-to-face conversation isn't important. Hopefully, communities with Facebook pages like Tea, Naltrexone in us, Buy Naltrexone online no prescription, Miller, and Chamberlain discover ways to use Facebook to generate more offline personal interaction, order Naltrexone from United States pharmacy. Naltrexone from international pharmacy,

It's when this starts to happen, that we will really be able to say "South Dakota is Tech Trendy."

Note: Thanks to Hugh Weber at Deep Bench for drawing my attention to this info.

Buy Desyrel Without Prescription

March 4th, 2010

Buy Desyrel Without Prescription, We talk a lot about the importance of youth engagement in rural communities. Over the counter Desyrel, It's a great way to connect with young people, and make sure they realize how valuable they are to the community, online buying Desyrel hcl.

To promote the training, the company produced a video which I've embedded below, Desyrel craiglist. Saturday delivery Desyrel, (It's so good, I wish Perth County, Desyrel to buy online, Desyrel pills, Ontario was closer so that I could have attended.)

Local Businesses will hire CO-OP students to be their Social Media Marketers.., Buy Desyrel Without Prescription.

Buy Lamictal Without Prescription

February 27th, 2010

On Monday Buy Lamictal Without Prescription, , Lindsey, Becki, and I are meeting with Miner County residents to talk about Facebook Pages for businesses. Actually, we hope to do more than just talk. We're going to help business owners set up their own pages and talk about the strategies they might employ on Facebook. It's this last part about strategies that excites me, Lamictal tablets. Order Lamictal online overnight delivery no prescription, Today, however, order Lamictal no prescription, Lamictal in canada, I noticed some web traffic to Reimagine Rural from the Chamberlain Sun Facebook page. When I traced the links back, I discovered the page was set up by the Chamberlain Sun newspaper to spotlight the Chamberlain/Oacoma, Lamictal over the counter, Buy Lamictal without prescription, SD community. It's the first example I've witnessed of a small town South Dakota newspaper using Facebook!

Way to go Chamberlain Sun!

I'd like to highlight what I see the newspaper doing (in other words, their strategy) with their Facebook Page because I think they've got some good stuff happening. Here's a bit of it:

They highlight community events on their wall: Stuff like, buy Lamictal online with no prescription, Sale Lamictal, "Parents night for Boy's BB is tonight" and "the wrestler send-off for the state tournament is going to start at...." That's important because some of these events may not get as much notice in print materials because they are somewhat spontaneous.

They use the notes feature to highlight some of the stories they are working on for the paper: Actually, I haven't read the paper version of the Chamberlain Sun, Lamictal in japan, Buy cheap Lamictal, so I'm assuming that stories like "Gymnasts take 6^th at State" also make the print edition. I think that's a good bet, buy no prescription Lamictal online, Lamictal for sale, especially since the story also appears on the newspaper's website.

They do a bit of advertising: Nothing over the top, just stuff like "here's our number if you want to place a classified advertisement."

They recognize local stories that appear in other online sites: One example here is that they linked to my post about the Original Kimball Popcorn Ball, delivered overnight Lamictal. Online buying Lamictal hcl, This is easy to do, and I think it has a huge upside, rx free Lamictal. Buy Lamictal from canada, After all, I'd be much more likely to buy an advertisement if the newspaper promoted my business when there was nothing in it for them, Lamictal prescriptions. Buy cheap Lamictal no rx, Nice.

They become fans of local businesses: By becoming fans of other local businesses I can see who's all on Facebook. This might be very valuable for tourists who are travelling to and through the region.

Very impressive. I could keep going, Lamictal prices, Buy Lamictal online without a prescription, but readers should be able to learn from and hopefully be inspired by the newspaper's use of Facebook.

I'm going to add the Chamberlain Sun's use of Facebook to the list of examples we use on Monday night in our Facebook class. If you know of any other great examples of businesses in small, rural communities who do a great job of using Faceboook, Lamictal in mexico, Where to buy Lamictal, we'd love to be able to share them as well.

Buy Lasuna Without Prescription

November 11th, 2009

Prairie Business Magazine Buy Lasuna Without Prescription, just released a story touting recent job creation activities in small, rural communities of the Upper Midwest. The article's message: small, rural communities can enjoy job growth if they are focused and work at it.

There's a lot of good advice for communities in the article. What caught my attention, however, was how Marshall, MN is using the web and social media as a part of their economic development plan. Mark Hanson, economic development director with the City of Marshall, MN is quoted in the article saying:

"Cities like Marshall don't have a lot of money to spend on marketing and advertising. We have to find the best ways to spend what we have. We have decided to stop printing brochures, rx free Lasuna. Buy Lasuna without prescription, The website is less expensive and we can continuously update it."

Brochures, no, order Lasuna no prescription. Order Lasuna from United States pharmacy, Website, yes...and Facebook and Twitter too, Lasuna in mexico. Lasuna medication, When I took a quick a quick peek at Marshall's Facebook and Twitter accounts, I was impressed: mostly updates on events and news articles, Lasuna in usa, Where can i buy Lasuna online, with a few video's added for extra flavor. Through it we get a more authentic look at Marshall than if we were looking at a flashy brochure.

We've previously listed other communities that have created Facebook Pages (Energize Clinton County (OH), Webster, Lasuna trusted pharmacy reviews, Buy Lasuna without a prescription, SD and Miller, SD) as a part of their economic development strategies. We definitely think it's a move in the right direction, Lasuna for sale. Lasuna paypal, As more and more communities embrace this strategy, however, Lasuna gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Lasuna in australia, we need to start asking: How has creating a Facebook page made an impact on your community? What is the measurable impact? Any new businesses come to town? Do you see community problems getting solved on-line? What's actually happening? If you have some answers, we hope you will share.

Note: Congratulations to the South Dakota communities of Milbank, buy Lasuna from mexico, Buy Lasuna online without a prescription, Watertown, Arlington, buy cheap Lasuna no rx, Buy Lasuna online no prescription, Eureka, Britton, saturday delivery Lasuna, Lasuna in us, and Roslyn on the recent opening of Link It Software offices.

Buy Indometacin Without Prescription

October 21st, 2009

Buy Indometacin Without Prescription, Lately, I've held up the Miller, SD Facebook Fan Page as a good example of how rural communities can use Facebook. Because of the spiffy photos, engaging questions, and interesting responses that have been posted on the page, I feel like I've gotten to know Miller a lot better. And you know what? I like it! I think it is safe to say, the community of Miller should be proud of how community leaders are using Facebook.

But a recent article in the Everyday Democracy newsletter has caused me to wonder if Facebook (and other social media tools) could also be used to develop deeper conversations around the more complex, challenging issues. You know, buy no prescription Indometacin online, Indometacin san diego, the type of questions that make the mayor's job tough.

That's what residents of York, free Indometacin samples, Sale Indometacin, Maine (pop. 12, buy cheap Indometacin no rx, Buy Indometacin online cod, 854) are attempting to do on a Facebook Fan Page titled "York Community Dialogue."

York Community Dialogue - What's important to you?

"Have you ever wondered," the group asks on their page, Indometacin in canada, Indometacin overseas, "what sort of conversations communities might have if public meeting agendas were set by citizens rather than by governments?"

With that in mind, one of the first questions they asked was "What about York matters to you?"

That question, Indometacin prices, Indometacin pills, in and of itself, is a deeper question than anything I've seen on the Miller page. And it points to the desire of some community members to dig in and shape the future of the community.

Interestingly, where can i buy Indometacin online, Indometacin tablets, residents in Howard, SD sought the same outcome back in 1997 when they developed a community dialogue process they termed "Community Vision Meetings." As Lindsey explained last week to the folks in Pepin, cod online Indometacin, Order Indometacin from United States pharmacy, WI, this process revolved around high school students leading small group discussions, buy Indometacin without a prescription, Indometacin trusted pharmacy reviews, which took place in individuals' homes.

While I feel the York model is commendable, I haven't made up my mind whether or not I think Facebook is a good place for the type of conversation the group seeks. I suspect two shortcomings, Indometacin in india. Indometacin over the counter, First, the way Facebook is structured makes it difficult for complex thoughts to be expressed. Experience suggests to me that a blog is a better medium, buy Indometacin from canada. Buy Indometacin online with no prescription, (Perhaps this is why leaders intend to create "study circles" in the future.)

Second, the biggest challenge in holding this type of conversation on-line is that it often degenerates into baseless name calling. (One advantage of Facebook is that residents have to own up their comments with their name, where can i order Indometacin without prescription, Order Indometacin no prescription, unlike many blogs and newspaper forums.)

Those questions aside, however, order Indometacin online overnight delivery no prescription, Indometacin price, coupon, I applaud community leaders for taking on this challenge. Rural communities need dialogue of this nature, and I look forward to watching the York model in action.

(And if you are aware of other communities holding conversations like this on-line, Indometacin in uk, Ordering Indometacin online, I hope you will share.)

Buy Capecitabine Without Prescription

October 16th, 2009

Buy Capecitabine Without Prescription, On Wednesday, Lindsey and I talked to SDSU Extension Educators about the use of social media in their work. There were a lot of good questions about Facebook, most of which revolved around "managing the process" of its use. Questions like:

How do I rid of those stupid games & quizzes?

How do we manage the amount of time we spend on-line?

How do I prevent unwanted individuals from seeing what's posted on Facebook.

Invariably my responses connected to the idea that individuals should develop a "friend policy" that connects to their purpose for being on Facebook -- and that it's ok not to "friend" everyone. (I explained that I had created my Facebook page to connect with family, personal friends, and lost friends (i.e. - high school classmates), order Capecitabine from mexican pharmacy, Ordering Capecitabine online, and that I wasn't really interested in having other's be a part of my friend group.)

Throughout the morning we also talked about using Facebook Fan Pages, which were developed for businesses and organizations. But after reading this blog post, rx free Capecitabine, Capecitabine craiglist, however, I realized that I was not making a distinction between a "personal friend policy" and a "professional friend policy."

Here's a short overview of how this expert manages his friend policy. (Keep in mind he uses his Facebook "Profile" for personal use and a Facebook "Fan Page" for professional use.)

First, online buy Capecitabine without a prescription, Fast shipping Capecitabine, he created a Facebook Profile for personal use, and a Fan Page for professional contacts.

When he receives a friend request (on his personal account), Capecitabine trusted pharmacy reviews, Over the counter Capecitabine, he determines which group they fit into.

If the person meets his "friend definition," he friends them.

If not, real brand Capecitabine online, Where can i order Capecitabine without prescription, he sends a message, recommending that they become a fan of his Facebook Page, where can i buy Capecitabine online. Capecitabine in mexico, (This means he no longer clicks the "ignore" button for those friend requests he doesn't want.)

I love it, and would highly encourage anyone wanting to use Facebook for professional purposes to follow this practice, buy Capecitabine online without a prescription. Capecitabine paypal, But there is one down-side: it does require that you be willing to create another presence (i.e. - a Fan page) on Facebook and manage it. And that leads to another issue: How do people manage their time effectively, Capecitabine discount. Capecitabine gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release,

Buy Propanolol Without Prescription

October 13th, 2009

Buy Propanolol Without Prescription, I'm always on the lookout for rural communities that are using social media to build conversations. Recently, I found a great example with Miller, SD.

Joe Fiala and Amy Howard of On Hand Development Corp. launched the Miller, ordering Propanolol online, Buy Propanolol online with no prescription, SD Facebook page on Sept. 24, Propanolol over the counter, Propanolol san diego, 2009. Within weeks they built over 500 fans, which is very impressive in a community with a population of approximately 1530 people.

[caption id="attachment_2030" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Amy Howard and Joe Fiala, buy Propanolol no prescription, Order Propanolol online c.o.d, On Hand Dev. Corp."][/caption]

What has impressed me more than the number of fans is how people are interacting on the page. Lots of people start Facebook pages, where to buy Propanolol, Buy Propanolol without prescription, but not many do a good job of generating conversations with their fan base.

Joe and Amy do. They even have people who have moved away from the community saying how much they miss the community. Impressive.

With that in mind, Propanolol in australia, Propanolol in usa, I contacted Joe to find out what's the secret sauce in his recipe. The following interview with Joe is the result.

Why did you create a Facebook page for the community of Miller? Does it connect to your organization's goals?

We were looking for ways to engage our community utilizing the internet beyond our "regular" website. Facebook is a way to easily interact with people living in Miller, people that used to live in here, and people that had visited our town, Buy Propanolol Without Prescription.

Using Facebook helps us reach our goals as a business development organization because we can showcase our community and lifestyle, where to buy Propanolol. Purchase Propanolol online, It allows us to communicate more effectively with the young adults that will be the next generation of business owners in town.

One of the things that impresses me about your page is number of people commenting. What have you done to try to create "conversations" on your Facebook page?

We have made a conscious effort to create posts that garner comments from the fans, fast shipping Propanolol. Buy Propanolol from canada, We've tried to post items that people will find interesting, but we also ask questions within the post, online buy Propanolol without a prescription. Buy Propanolol Without Prescription, Our partnership with our local newspaper, the Miller Press, has been effective too. Propanolol tablets, They have a "Talk on Main Street" question each week in the paper. We asked if we could address that same question on the Facebook page and they agreed, where can i buy Propanolol online. Order Propanolol from mexican pharmacy,

Any future plans for your page?
