Connecting Alaskans
Posted by: mysticventures in Alaska, AlaskanBest.com, Community, Small BusinessAlaskans are a breed apart. We can disagree, sometimes very strongly and passionately, but when it comes down to it, we all need to work together. In spite of differences in public policy and politics. So this is going to be a blog about how we can build bridges to connect Alaskans from around the state with one another, for our mutual benefit. The goal is to meet somewhere in the middle of the bridge with minds and hearts open.
My efforts so far has been connecting to Alaskans through Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. I also created a custom Google Search Engine with only Alaskan content. Currently searches 5,027 sources from all around the state. You can get the code to add the search to your website here. You can suggest a site to be included here. You can get free banner advertising here.
I have also have laid out some ideas on “Cooperative Community Marketing” which I hope to have some discussion here on how we can build on that idea to help each other. I think now more than ever it’s important for us to support our local small businesses.
Finally, I plan on doing short reviews of unique, creative, and interesting Alaskan websites. The goal is weekly, we’ll see how that works. I’ll write more on the idea in another post. If you have any suggestions for a site to be reviewed post them in the comments section and I’ll take a look for consideration.
