Join the River City Writer Facebook Group
If you’re on Facebook, join River City Writers: The Edmonton Life & Culture Group (Facebook account required). The group is open to anyone, though, like this blog, it’s geared mostly toward Edmontonians.
As much as the group is meant to be a bit of a promotional vehicle for River City Writer, it’s main goal is to create a community within the Edmonton blogging community, and Edmonton’s online population in general.
Creating the group on Facebook, instead of on a web forum, or other social media tool may have been a poor choice, since there are still a few people who haven’t joined Facebook, but the ease of use really makes the Facebook group an ideal way to communicate with the community, and to allow the community to interact online.
Hopefully, a solid community will form, and will enrich the experience of living in Edmonton for all those involved (both through interacting with our community, albeit on the Internet, and through sharing information regarding cultural events happening in and around the city).
If you have a blog about Edmonton, or even if you just want to read the words of Edmonton’s blogging community, check out the River City Writer Facebook Group.
