Will Dublin residents utilize this network?

So I'm all for 'social marketing' and finding creative ways to deliver a UVP to potential consumers but as I watch trends in the social networks I study, I'm understanding what works, and what does not. The more you have 'promotions' the less you have 'communication'.

I propose that if anyone brings an 'event' or 'solicitation' into the YourDublin network, that they also bring personality and substance to a conversation beyond the one they submit.

I think this does a couple things, one it helps us discover what others find engaging and two it 'forces' conversation. If i visit this site with the intention of doing more than just pushing my own agenda, I'm openning myself to hear someone else's perspective. This creates an environment where others feel comfortable expressing opinion rather than just viewing 'events'.

Just my thought. I like visiting and talking to my man Les...but this can be a powerful vehicle for all residents, business owners and visitors of Dublin if utilized properly.

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
