Back when the web really took off, the coolest thing about it was the fact that you could get anything from anywhere on the planet. Information, stuff, pictures, whatever. It made every corner of the world reachable from the comfort of your home.

That’s still the case. If something happens on the other side of the planet, we can be talking about less than a minute later here. Truly amazing.

That all said, the newest push for this global technology called the Interweb is reaching out to….your neighbours.

With SO much content online, sites that try to offer too much information become cumbersome and a bit of a burden to navigate. The latest trend in online service development is catering directly to a regional market. Forget searching for info in a worldwide or national site, cut to the chase and go directly to a site dedicated to your own town.

We’ve recently developed a handful of sites like these and it is AMAZING how much traffic they’re already getting.

Simple themes seem to be the most desirable. We’ve done a Stratford Garage Sales site, a London Garage Sales site, a Kitchener Waterloo Garage Sales site and a Stratford Open Houses site, and they’re all getting traffic.

What local worldwide service will you be creating?

Global village indeed.
