LinkingCommunities.com™ has developed a very unique website system to help you stay connected with members of your group or organization, while giving you a variety of personal tools to help organize your very busy life – all within one central place from any computer in the world that has internet access! You can think of it as your online rolodex and communication tool!

What does this website system mean for you?

Any community you belong to can have its own public website that you control the look-and-feel of and it allows you to have as many public pages as you would like. Keeping your site up-to-date with information is as easy as creating a Word document! You simply type, click and save! With little amount of training involved, you can have a website without the need of a costly web developer. It is easy-to-use and manage and the best part is it’s FREE!

What makes this product unique?

There is a private area attached to the public website that is member-based and password protected. It is like having your own intranet/virtual office online. You access this private area simply by logging in through your website. Once members sign-up by creating a profile, username, and password, they can share a variety of web-based tools. This includes features like a resource library (great for document and photo sharing), calendar (post meetings and events), classifieds (sell or look for stuff - not only within your community but also within other LinkingCommunities.com participating sites throughout the country), store contact information (personal and community related). There are both community tools and personal tools that other members of the community can not see. A list of features include:

Member Directory(members decide what information they want displayed) Business Directory(the site is sponsored by business advertisements) Classifieds(linked with other communities using the system) Calendar(community and personal) Message Boards(chat about topics of interest, share ideas) Groups(search for groups, join groups, email leaders; individual groups can also have their own web system) Links to Other Sites(your community may link to other sites from this site) Resource Library(upload important documents, recommended reading, etc.) Web Chat(chat in real-time with other members) Contacts(keep a community or personal rolodex online)

Uniting Communities & Protecting Our Children

It is our company mission to unite communities and protect our children; therefore, we created a way to link the community sites to the outside world with other agencies that share our mission. How have we done this? In addition to building this website system for communities, we have built an additional tool for local law enforcement agencies called the Neighborhood Watch & Alert Manager. Law enforcement agencies get their own web system that allows them to create missing persons alerts, crime and weather alerts, post wanted people or upcoming events and more. They can also upload documents like safety tips, training videos, etc. When they post the information, it is displayed within your community website and it will also be sent to the individual members of your community via text message and email. Members elect whether or not they would like to be notified of this information within their profile. This tool is extremely valuable and can save a life if a child is missing and time is a critical factor in finding out details needed by local law enforcement. For example, if you are pumping gas in your car and get a text message about a car they are searching for, you may see it drive by at that very moment. In addition to information you can receive from local law enforcement agencies, we are working with child safety partners. Familywatchdog is one of those valuable partners. By working together, they have allowed you to search for registered sex offenders through your community website within the member’s area called Child Safety. It is our goal to partner with as many agencies that share our goal of protecting children and educating communities as we can. They will provide safety tips, training videos, and other important resources. The next version will also allow schools, city government agencies and fire departments to disseminate information into the community sites.

What does all of this mean for you?

Your community gets a website for pubic viewing, you have a place to store personal information to help keep you organized, your members have an area where they can connect and share information, your community can receive alerts sent by law enforcement agencies and you can search for registered sex offenders – all in one central place, from any computer in the world that has internet access! We are able to offer this product for FREE because it is supported by local and national sponsors. There’s no software or hardware to buy and no financial investment. Within a matter of hours, you can have your community online.
