New Press Release!

Listeners of the World,

We have just released our latest press release listing our latest towns and communities to join the OurTown family. In the past 2 weeks we have added 5 new towns and have had 5 older towns increase their coverage area! We plan on trying to add anywhere from 20-100 towns and communities each month until our new release of OurTown.com. Once the new site is up we will be embarking on a national high pace marketing plan that will increase the amount of towns added per month by 100%! We plan on becoming a household name by the end of 2010 where you can go and find out about anything in your town or community. As we work hard to fill out our map please contact our Support if you are interested in having your own site or wanting to post pictures, events, videos, and stories online!

Your OurTown SuperHero,

Burger King and Beer!

Listeners of the World,

I decided to write a different kind of post today where I would put information about OurTown on hold, and just share a story with everyone that I feel is very interesting! I was reading the various news sites this morning and I came across a story that I just had to share and give my take on. The headline read "Burgers and Beer" and I was instantly intrigued and had to know more! As I dove into the article I was very happy about the notion of Burger King adopting the European way of serving beer at fast food places. I for one have been to Europe and taken advantage of this perk and found it to be great. Burger King is also introducing another notion that I love and that is delivery! The new Whopper Bar will offer outdoor dining, a walk-up window and delivery service in addition to BEER! I mean how could this get any better, I can now enjoy a beer and a great whopper in my own home without ever living if I wish! Now many people are against this stating that we are setting a bad example for our kids, and that the kids will see all the alcohol. Well my response is do you drink at home, at any resturant, or how about Chuck E Cheese! All of those places serve beer as well and nobody seems to care. I think if everyone gives this idea a chance it will be a big hit and you will see that its not that big of a deal.

HTML Island!!!!

Listeners of the World,

I am happy to announce that the HTML island is once again available for all local editors to use on their OurTown sites. We took this island away almost a year ago in an effort to make the site more secure and to develop a better application for our local editors to use. While developing the application we ran into many different issues delaying the release. After a year we have come up with a two step plan. The first step was the re-release of the improved and more secure HTML island. But, this is not enough for this still leaves our site vulnerable so we have also developed a new application that will be launching along site our new site release. With the combination of the new site and new application we will have the perfect balance of functionality and security.
