ABOUT US

A Greater Town is a Local to Global Compendium of Art, Culture, Community, Business, and Realty.

A Greater Town creates a space for every town and city - and their artists, artisans, people and businesses - and acts as a placeholder and springboard to each their unique sites.

If the user doesn't have a site, a page on A Greater Town can temporarily take the place of one, like a shingle on the web.

For example, here are two posts by small businesses which previously had no web presence:

http://www.agreatertown.com/author/141/browse_posts/home Fine Custom Carpentry

http://www.agreatertown.com/p1273-montclair-nj-leuci-design Leuci Design

The following were posted by a small regional newspaper whose website isn't designed for easy self-publishing:

http://www.agreatertown.com/author/206/browse_posts/home Tri-County Journal

Example of a town homepages:

http://www.agreatertown.com/town/324/browse_posts/default... Montclair, NJ

http://www.agreatertown.com/town/220/browse_posts/default... Hoboken, NJ

http://www.agreatertown.com/town/411/browse_posts/default... Plainfield, NJ

http://www.agreatertown.com/town/2188/browse_posts/defaul... Woodstock, NY

http://www.agreatertown.com/town/1573/browse_posts/defaul... New York, NY

A Greater Town is a self-publishing venue in which various elements that comprise the life of towns can be aggregated, highlighted and cross-connected in a vertical – horizontal spherical grid to form one greater town.

All data in site, as seen from the perspective of Montclair at its center:

A Greater Town is ideal for cross-marketing. Web developers, specialty websites, graphic designers, advertising agencies, newspapers and magazines can use it to help market their clients while showcasing their own capabilities.

Here for example are copies of ads printed in Chronogram, a regional magazine in the Hudson Valley, which have been posted onto our site. Previously, these would have appeared in print only; now they have a place on the web:
http://www.agreatertown.com/author/158/browse_posts/home

There are so many fantastic new ideas here on YouNoodle and the internet is just exploding with creativity! I invite you all to post an image or splashpage from your site under
the relevant category, or under, if your site defies description "Media & Communications > Websites - Origin - United States" , would love to host a dedicated gallery for all this incredible innovation.

( As we "open for business" only in the US for the present moment, if your site or business isn't based in the States or related to the States, please place your post in New York City and chose "Websites - International Origin" for your category)

I hope you will join us.

Best,

Drew
