Qwixo.com Brings the Neighborhood to the Net: New Arizona-Based Website Captures the Pulse of Community Commerce
Scottsdale, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 12, 2007 -- People tired of hunting all over the Internet for a lawn mower, a pet sitter, a collectible item or a new job in a specific zip code can now find them all in one convenient stop. Qwixo.com unites information in a single attractive interface, making it easy to zero in on things just where and when they're needed.
"Qwixo.com is an exciting hybrid - part Internet bulletin / message board, local interactive newspaper, and soon to be a Yellow Page directory all in one easy to use website," said Darren Anderson, founder of Qwixo.com. "Best of all, a user can decide how specific they want the information to be - national, state, city, or even as specific as their very own zip code."
That makes the content on Qwixo.com the most relevant of any of the community lists out there...even without the word 'list' in the name.
The scalability of the site has users flocking to post a wide variety of notices on the site: from local garage sale announcements, ads for lost pets and farmers markets, even college course information. These sit alongside more traditional notes about collectible items, jobs offered and houses for sale. All the details are available in local area specific bulletin boards for neighbors to view and share. Postings on Qwixo.com can be initially listed for 30 days and then be renewed for additional 30 day periods. In a very short period of time there are already more than 500 postings on the newly launched site.
"Qwixo.com truly brings communities together to share information and interact," Anderson said. "Even users not looking to buy anything at our website can meet their neighbors and find ways to share time and meet new friends in the community."
Qwixo.com is a free use website created by computer programmers and business people hoping to foster more communication between neighbors.
"We are amazed at the number of visitors Qwixo.com has drawn, as well as the thirty one countries they have come from," Anderson said. "Our goal is to become the number one neighborhood destination site on the Internet."
About Qwixo.com
Qwixo.com connects people. As much time as people spend in neighborhoods, it's still hard to get the word out about garage sales, pet sitting services, or to talk about local issues. Not everyone can congregate all day at the local coffee shop to catch up on gossip. Since information travels instantly online, why not do just that but on a neighborhood level?
Qwixo was born with the goal of connecting members and neighbors by zip code. Let Qwixo serve as a nucleus. Qwixo is for the veterinarian practice wanting to offer a new service to customers just as much as it's for the college student who wants to make side money teaching piano lessons, people wanting to talk about local politics and news, or just find out which store has a deal on a lawnmower. Think of Qwixo as a local bulletin board.
"We're just a small firm of programmers and business people who want to give you the opportunity to effectively communicate with others. Whether it is with a neighbor who needs help cutting their lawn or someone from out of state selling hard to find dishes, Qwixo can help. If Fluffy the cat goes on an extended hunting trip and he's nowhere to be found, use Qwixo to let everyone in his zip code know to be on the lookout. Job seekers don't care about jobs on the other side of town with the price of gas these days, so imagine job searching only in a single zip code. Shop local and save time. Qwixo is what users make of it!
