Network of community Websites provide similar content from Internet?s
most popular sites
NATIONWIDE - The Grapevine Communities, a group of 200
community-based social networking, marketing and multi-media Websites
across the country, is connecting people to their communities with
local content by using the same kind of features as the Internet?s
most popular sites.
Thousands of members in small towns and large cities throughout the
nation are discovering the power of information and entertainment in
community Websites such as www.SacramentoGrapevine.com,
www.CapecodGrapevine.com, www.SeattleGrapevine.com,
www.HartfordGrapevine.com, and www.LafayetteGrapevine.com.
At each Grapevine Communities Website, members can find hundreds of
things to do, such as:
? Easily post their own blog for the world to read and comment on
? Print coupons from local grocery stores, or create and post their
own coupons for their own business
? Find a needed business in the local Business Directory, or list
their business in the Business Directory so people can easily find
information about their product or service.
? Spend hours playing 700 games in the arcade
? Find local news from local media, along with national, world,
business, sports, entertainment, science and technology and offbeat news
? Sell or buy items in the local classifieds
? Find things to do in the local calendar of events or post their own
events for the public to see
? Track stocks, find local movie times, weather, local gas prices,
horoscopes and 30 financial calculators
? Set up their own Webpage to be a MySpace-like page and put a bunch
of cool stuff on it like videos, photos, music, blogs, background
screen shots and more. Members can invite friends within their
Grapevine community to join them on their MySpace-like Webpage
? Set up banner advertising to market their business at discounted
rates for local companies
In a nutshell, the Grapevine Communities were put together so people
could share their interest with those around them, within the
community where they live.
MySpace, Craigslist, Youtube, LinkedIn, Facebook and other networking
sites are dominating the marketplace on a global scale with social,
business and entertainment networking sites. But what they don?t do is
target individual communities with all of the combined features of
their sites. The Grapevine Communities combine their features into
local Websites.
The goal is simple. Enjoy www.IndianapolisGrapevine.com,
www.ColoradoSpringsGrapevine.com, www.RochesterGrapevine.com,
www.NashvilleGrapevine.com or any of the other 200 community sites and
tell others about it so communities can be brought together to share
in their visions, discuss their challenges, grow their businesses,
stay informed and be entertained.
The reward for each owner of a Grapevine Communities Website is
advertising revenues from local business owners in each community.
The benefit for Grapevine members are Reward Points. Quickly, members
earn points just by posting to the sites to exchange for $10, $100 and
$250 Gift Cards to Best Buy, Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Staples. There?s
no catch. It's our way of saying thanks for using the Grapevine
Communities Websites. In other words, it pays to use the Grapevine
Communities Websites. Of course, people in the community also benefit
by the power of information and entertainment on the Grapevine
Communities Websites.
