**Please join us for PDXTech4Good's July meetup, where we'll learn about community-building classifieds!**
Does your community use groups on Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn? Are they frustrated by useful information getting lost in a stream of status updates and baby photos? Are they burnt out on email chains and listservs with irrelevant content? Are they looking for a place to share resources beyond just the professional?
Switchboard is a platform that harnesses the power of communities by giving them a simple place to connect, transact, and build community value. There are only two types of posts: Ask and Offer.
You can check out an example Switchboard for the Portland Startup Community here:
https://pdxstartups.switchboardhq.com/
And one for the Women's Bicycling community here
http://wheelwomen.switchboardhq.com/
And one for Oberlin College:
https://oberlin.switchboardhq.com/
Switchboard is being used by colleges, universities, non-profits, community groups, summer camps, professional organizations, conferences. Learn how the simple format of Ask and Offer can strengthen your community, while interdigitating with existing social media tools.
