Why we do the things we do.


Last evening we received the "Entrepreneurial Excellence" award from the Orleans County Chamber of Commerce. What I remember most about the evening was the introduction we were given and the truth was it was right from our CountyLife.info page. It really does serve us well sometimes to be reminded why we do the things we do.
We all know that technology has put the world at our fingertips which allows us to travel the world virtually in seconds but what that has also done is create a void. I think we often skip right over those things close to home in search for the newest hot topic from who knows where. Now I'm all for traveling and have spent much of my life doing so but even still, I often regret or wonder at least about those little things I've missed. Some of the coolest sites or neatest parks never make a national map. It was and still is our hope to bring these treasures out.
One of the fastest growing markets are the one we are in, every online advertising agency out there is struggling to capture this exact idea. Just how do you bring the Internet close to home, how does it become personal, and as a business just how do you monetize that. Well, we think we have it, and even have a few more additions up our sleeve. We really love giving our smaller communities full color exposure online. We are now in the process of looking for some additional working capital to expand into several more counties and to add a few more bells and whistles to our site. How cool will it be to look at western NY online county by county to see just what treasures lie just a few miles down the road. Thanks Everyone!
