I have been keeping my eye on a local portal company that is positioned for big things this coming year. The site Topicalbeach.com, which is a web directory, also has a growing number of sites in its growing network that each represent a portal for a given geographic area. The company started out with its flagship Topicalbeach.com, but now has three additional local portals:
Each site is run by a town guide, who is a person from the community that the site represents. Accordingly, the person who is fortunate enough to become a town guide also is able to share in the revenue of the site which comes from advertising of local businesses.
Some features of the sites include forums, a directory of local businesses, classified adds, calendar of local events, real estate listings, shopping guides, and a user game called City Sleuth.
Visitors to the site can join the site and then participate in the game and actually get prizes.
Currently, there are openings for town guards in the towns of Pottstown, Norristown, Radner, West Chester, Phoenixville, Exton, and Collegeville. Person's interested in becoming a town guard should visit the Topicalbeach Topic Guides page for more information.
