Noordhoek

YN – Our earlier post about Noordhoek and the possibility to build an online Publishing Community on YORGOO Media has triggered some interest and I had a long brainstorming session with Bianca about it. It’s less about Noordhoek than about any community, which could go online based on the Noordhoek Model.

Noordhoek Social Network

Instead of driving people to social networks such as Facebook, any community can build their own network with a private social networking component and a public blogging element, grabbing thus the attention of Search Engines and building a real online asset.

BuddyPress takes care of the Social Network aspect while the Semiomantics Blog takes care of public publishing. The Public Publication could target categories such as:

Nordhoek News

News about what’s happening in town, may be local community news fed by the mayors office, local authorities and so on.

Leopard

Noordhoek Events

Local social events, exhibitions, movies, theater, concerts, sports events, you name it.

Noordhoek People

Every town has its more or less well known celebrities, articts, writers, musicians, painters or Nobel Prize winners.

Noordhoek Accommodation

In a touristic region, accommodation is a key category. It’s nice to present the local infrastructure in a meaningful way.

Noordhoek Business

Talk about local business and services provided by local businesses.

Noordhoek Real Estate

Help locals to publish their real estate for sale and write about the merits of the local market, situation and benefits to investors, families and businesses.

Noordhoek Tourism

Feature interesting tourist attractions from the landscape to infrastructures, sports and so on.

Noordhoek Art and Culture

Find art and culture oriented people for contributing to the content of the Noordhoek network. The same could be done with Science, Ecology and so on.

These few categories can be targeted with most any Community oriented publication. How about your community?
