NationTalk.ca is Hyperlocal
Hyperlocal or hyper-local (adjective): Relating to a network of very specific community or geographical areas.
-BuzzWords, MacMillan Dictionary
NationTalk is now revolutionizing how the Aboriginal communities communicate.
Using existing and emerging technologies, NationTalk has made it possible for Aboriginal communities and entrepreneurs to duplicate its website NationTalk.ca, as a separate website customized for local audiences. NationTalk, can then automatically share with, as well as receive information from these regional sites, including advertisements across the network.
This allows the creation of websites with local information such as jobs, advertisements and news for communities as small as a village, while also including regional and national information drawn from NationTalk.ca. This in turn becomes an income opportunity for entrepreneurs or communities running the website, and local journalists contributing news.
By bring about the hyperlocal revolution, NationTalk is helping improve the climate for information sharing with, and within the Aboriginal, and bring about economic benefit to the smallest of the Aboriginal communities.
