CityBlogUSA gives Residents Home Town Blogging Network
Want the inside scoop on a city before you move? Need advice about local real estate, jobs, lifestyles, neighborhoods or finding the best pediatrician? Ask the people who live there. CityBlogUSA brings consumers a hometown network that empowers them to create a local show and tell with residents.
Phoenix, AZ. (ePartner USA, Inc.) August 6, 2007. The Consumer was just handed more power in the real estate transaction equation. Residents now have their own community blogging network where they can post information about their favorite cities or hometown, giving others an unvarnished peek at life inside. "We're the talk of the town," said Donald Teel, Founder of CityBlogUSA, the nation's largest blogging network dedicated to resident blogging for the benefit of consumers who are contemplating relocation. "It's more than a catchy slogan because a growing number of people would prefer to ask a resident who lives in a community for advice about find a physician, jobs, home values, local organizations, politics and other issues before they open a dialogue with a real estate agent," said Teel. The CityBlogUSA Network includes national, state and local blogging niches for every city regardless of size, blanketing more than 300 million people. Residents in the smallest towns of mid-America have the same opportunity as those in Los Angeles or New York City and they can create their own topics known as a "Park Bench" inviting others to sit and talk about local issues important to residents. According to Teel, "CityBlogUSA can help demystify the relocation process for consumers by allowing them access to the most knowledgeable people in any city, the residents, bringing new transparency to the relocation process and the real estate industry." A frustrated resident posted this comment in the Kingman, Arizona blog, demonstrating the power of local experience: "I have been here 1 year this June (2007) and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts." Of course, this resident didn't have CityBlogUSA as a resource before deciding to relocate. Advance dialogue with residents may have help locate a doctor before moving to Kingman. The CityBlogUSA Network invites residents to become local authors and commenters, free of charge. Local businesses and others may participate by becoming "Park Bench Sponsors" through online directory and featured ads. Real Estate agents may participate by becoming Sponsors who provide real estate and relocation advice about their city. Residents can be more than bloggers; they can be local photo journalists who upload interesting photos about their State and city that others will find intriguing and helpful.
