In case you’re wondering, I’ve been spending some time lately on the social network for my community in Benton, AR. If you’re interested, it’s MySaline.com. We discuss local issues, like how to influence local government regarding whether or not to remain a “dry” county and meeting candidates for local government positions. We also discuss community gatherings, carpooling, new restaurants and businesses. The site has helped bring me up to speed with what’s going on at my new home like nothing I’ve ever encountered before.
I highly recommend seeking out local community networks online– I’ve learned a bunch already and am looking forward to becoming more involved in my community!
