Here’s an overview of GoSpotting.com:
What: GoSpotting.com/cumberland-md is a hyper-local social network. It is just about Cumberland,MD. All the categories outside of the “Marketplace” will have a “Spot Host”. Here you can see the Tree House Toy’s Category http://www.gospotting.com/cumberland-md/tag/toys
How: Organizations, businesses, and individuals can benefit from GoSpotting by being a “Spot Host”. As a spot host you announce events, news, and express ideas about your areas of interest. Your website address will be associated with each of your posts giving your website even more visibility.
Why: The why is my favorite. Social networking is incredibly valuable for an organization because you carry on a dialog, in public, with others who are interested in your organization. This means, right where people talk about what you provide/sell/do you are seen as a local leader.
If you’d like to know more about the idea behind the site see the “What we’re about” link at http://www.gospotting.com/about
The site will have more local organizations and businesses contributing starter information to different categories over the next
two weeks.
