Social media sites aren’t just a great way to connect friends and family, they are also a great tool for linking neighbors to other people in their community.
On ThurstonTalk, we share positive stories about the people, businesses and organizations that make Thurston County a great place to live, work and play.
Because we distribute all of our content via social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter, we create an inviting place where readers can easily like, share and comment on the articles and photos that we post.
As readers engage with our content, they generate comments, questions and — ultimately — conversations.
Here are a few ways that our content creates chatter among — and between — our readers:
- A reader submitted photo might spark another reader’s interest in, and generate a conversation about, a new location.
- An article about a farm stand might prompt a discussion about other local vendors selling fresh food and produce, spurring someone to shop with their neighborhood farmer.
Through unique, meaningful content about your hometown, readers find things to do, places to go and organizations and businesses to support. - An event post may inspire readers’ suggestions of similar events happening in the area or tips from readers who have visited the event before, ensuring a successful visit.
- A historical article may stir a sentimental discussion about shared past experiences or connect friends long separated.
Because we read all of the comments, questions and conversations by our readers, ThurstonTalk is also able to better understand the types of stories that our readers care about and ensure we create content our community is interested in.
So go ahead, comment on that scenic photo, share your favorite memory of an iconic place, tell us about an event we don’t know about, and let’s create some community chatter together.
