Meet people in your area with OneTwib

Times have changed. I grew up in a small community and people actually knew their neighbors. Moms would often get together for coffee as their children played and neighbors were always good about helping each other out. Unfortunately the neighborhood hospitality has gotten away from a lot of communities, which is why OneTwib is striving to bring it back.

What is OneTwib? – Connect with people
Just about anyone who is on the internet understands what social networking is: keeping in contact with old friends and making new friends all over the country. Onetwib is similar to that, only their focus is connecting people within their own communities.

Advantages of Joining Onetwib – Meet Locals
There are several advantages to joining Onetwib and even starting a group on Onetwib within your community. Whether you are new to the community or looking for ways to connect with people who share similar interests, OneTwib can bring communities closer.

OneTwib isn’t just for personal use. Local businesses can benefit by joining OneTwib and keeping their name in front of the community. This is a great way for both old and new businesses to post specials or just keep in touch with current customers while building a new customer base.

Stay Active in Your Community
Another advantage to OneTwib is getting notified of various activities that are going on in your community. Whether it’s a fundraiser, a craft show or some other community event you want to be in the loop. Sure many events are listed in the local newspaper but how often have you missed something big because you didn’t buy the paper that day?

The Pros and Cons of Technology
Technology has come along way in the past decade. And while the widespread use of the internet makes life so much easier by allowing us to handle various everyday tasks with the click of a mouse, some fear that too much technology is keeping us from the real world. Kids are engrossed in video games and people are texting instead of picking up the phone to talk which can really make us feel disconnected. The irony of OneTwib is this very same technology that can make us feel disconnected can also bring communities together.

Stay Safe
As with any other social networking site you want to always proceed with caution. With OneTwib you can create an account with a user name, not your real name. And while it is great to meet new people in your community you should never give out personal information about yourself online or invite people you meet online to your home. Instead opt for meeting at a public place.

Getting Started with OneTwib
OneTwib is fairly new so you may find that there are no groups started in your area yet. However, all it takes is one person to get it started so why not get OneTwib started in your community? It’s quick and easy to join and best of all- it’s free!
