LOOK WHAT’S COMING NEXT!
Phase I and Phase II have completed, laying a solid foundation for a local mobile platform that can create new networks on the fly and is jam-packed with robust social connecting & messaging technology.
Phase III currently underway, builds on that foundation to provide more value to local communities and broaden even greater support for the Project.
Phase III Features
- User’s Private Feed
- User’s Neighborhood Feed
- Channel Enhancements
Private & Neighborhood User Feeds
We believe the upcoming User Social functionality will prove to be CONNECTLocal’s most impactful upgrade ever. Giving Users the tools to connect with each other will surely generate exponential User growth.
The User Private feed will deliver all the functionality of the world’s top social media platforms, WITH NO ADVERTISING. A User’s “Private Feed” will be under their full control. Users can invite their family and friends to connect with their CONNECTLocal account. Only these invited Users will be able to view, post and share on your Private feed.
The Neighborhood feed will let all Users located within the network to view and post content. Neighborhood posts can share items for sale, news about the community, or general interests. MyChoice capabilities will allow Users to customize their Neighborhood feed to display only the posts they are interested in. Users can filter posts by User or by content classifications; delivering the exact content they are looking for.
Channel Enhancements
Channels allow municipalities and nonprofits to utilize CONNECTLocal’s technology to better communicate with their members. These Phase III enhancements will provide new functionalities tailored to the specific needs of these organizations.
Channel Enhancements Include:
- Private Channels will allow control over who can become a Channel User.
