New Search / Posts Notices Service Launched
SouthCentralTexas.net now offers you the opportunity for you Post and Find information in our region..
We initially hope to get about the same sort of build-up of Posts as one would expect with only a viral word-of-keyboard response; and then build up to a large number of users to test the system. Later we'll begin having "Post Drives" in all the communities served by SouthCentralTexas.net to get the non-netties in the system too.
Our new Posts service offers a quick and easy way of finding what you want. People are accessible by either their name (if their name is posted) or their type of service. Blogs, Events, and more are part of the mix too. It's all in how you use it.
Once a notice has been posted it will remain posted until it is removed by the poster or an automatic remove date, or of course, if the content breaks our rules and we remove it.
To start, we suggest that you might read all the Notices that are retrieved when the Start Search button is clicked while the default category of "Help" is set. To read the details of a notice, simply click on it's headline.
The "Post Notice Service" is free now and very possibly always will be. Once we get enough notices to make it really useful we will explore posting ads along with other information to help pay for the service. Meanwhile we will determine the scalability of the software.
We invite individuals as well as Associations and Organizations that would like to make some money to gather notices and place them in the "Post Notice Service" for people they solicit or know that do not use the Internet. Since we do not charge anything, the charge can be whatever "the poster" deems appropriate.
We do not require any user to have to supply any personal information to us, nor to require any more information than they want in their notice. A completely anonymous post can be made if the poster is just announcing something. If an anonymous post requires a response, the poster can make a deal with an independent answering service.
(See Posts -> Help - Anonymous Posting )
A Blog can start by using the category of Comment and including the keyword of Blog followed by their blogging name as part of the category. That way anyone can find someone's blogs by selecting the category of Comment and then either specifying the blogger-name in the Key Words line or to be more specific "blogger-name in Blog". Or they can simply specify Blog in the keywords line to find all blog entries. Any notice can be responded to with an attached notice. And comments can be added to other comments so a lively discussion could ensue. All responses will follow in the order of posting.
** ( See Posts -> Comment - Blog Mack )
Note: Passwords are not required to Post a Notice; however passwords are required to Change or Remove a Notice. We suggest the use of an easy-to-remember password before Notices are posted.
TIP! Type Date: before Calendar Dates
