Maineville is your digital front porch, a chance to catch up with neighbors, talk about how business is going, show off pictures of the kids or fulminate about the latest town council decision. This site is a social network with a difference - Maineville isn't organized around some made-up online theme - it's definitely not fonduefans4ever.com. This is about the town you live in, the people you see at the grocery store, the events that affect your life.
If you don't see your town among the 24 we've started with, there's no reason to despair. Get a local group together, tell us you'd like to see your town in Maineville and we'll start working on it. The best way to persuade us you're serious is to post your news, pictures, videos and blogs in the Maineville town nearest you. We'll take the hint.
Your News: This area is for short news briefs, press releases, promotions, family milestones, community news coverage and more!
Calendar: Post your club, school, organization or business events here. Do you know the dates for your town meeting, chamber events, festivals or fairs?
Photos & Video: Did you take pictures or video of a Little League game, concert, play, sporting event or community gathering? Want to share them with others or see what pictures/video your neighbors have taken?
Blogs: What's on your mind about your community? Want to sound off on a new town initiative? Give kudos to a good neighborly deed? This is your space to speak your mind, share ideas and talk about the happenings in your town.
Are you your town's iHost?
You could be if you are outgoing, involved and enjoy knowing what's going on in your town. An iHost gets the discussion moving -- inviting people to post news and photos and pointing out when that happens, schools, praising good deeds and providing constructive criticism.
IHosts comment on local events they attend, take photos and offer insight into town activities. IHosts are what keep communities alive and growing, and if you are that kind of person, we have the place for you to reach more friends and neighbors than ever before. Right here in Maineville.
