Why join NearbyNewz? Because it gives you the power to both report on and become informed by news events as they happen around you! NearbyNewz is not social media, but something altogether new: Locational media. NearbyNewz crowd-sourced information is now shared by location, not by connections, or who knows who. A post on NearbyNewz is similar to placing an information stake in the ground that is picked up by other NearbyNewz users in close proximity to it. Additionally, as you move, the information in your local feed updates because you are now collecting new information based on your new location. NearbyNewz happens in real time and allows users to exchange information without restriction of the friend/follow model that prevents the flow of location-based information. This is all accomplished without tracking the user s location, allowing for anonymity. Further, an assessment tool allows users to rate posted stories, creating creditability ratings for each user over time. Join the movement to become informed and connected to what is happening around you right now, no matter where you are, or who you know. Key Concepts & Features: Newz = Any information you find of interest or value; it is likely others will find it valuable, too. Newz can be something as innocuous as a great deal you find while shopping to the breaking news event you just happened to witness. (See Suggestions for Posts below) NearbyNewz is Safe You are never tracked and posts are left where they originated. Given there are no maps disclosing specific locations of users, exact location, or your identity if desired, is never disclosed. Credibility Rating The more you are involved and the more informed users are by your posts, the higher you rating will be. Trending Timeline This optional timeline allows users to see what posts are popular which posts are getting the most clicks, comments and views regardless of where they originated. Bookmark Link Bookmarking allows users to keep a story or event in the Favorites timeline. My Posts By selecting this tab, users have a historical record of their own posts; check on the comments from posts you made months ago, to see if there is a happy ending to your story. Comments This is where a story takes shape: The local community can provide additional commentary to the original post by asking questions or giving your readers more details.
