NIXLE.com -- An Important 24/7 Community Informational Resource

Posted:  30 Aug 13

Purpose

To inform you of another invaluable information resource for the easier conduct of busy life here.  I believe it's a national, even global, tool, but I know it works in this territory.


"This Community Information Service 
helps keep you and your family safe, informed, 
and connected to your community 24/7."

Background

NIXLE was first brought to my attention, yesterday, by Mayor Nancy Parent, as another useful source of information.

She's so right.  My very first visit there instantly yielded information on breaking developments from the Police Department -- including insights into a very localized (and most inconvenient) power failure; an announcement recognizing high civic achievement of Theresa Miller (please see this PCJ Bulletin); and yesterday's special awards ceremony honoring the people of the Pittsburg PD (please see this PCJ bulletin for a description of this event).  

And that's just a start.

A WORD ABOUT PRONOUNCING "NIXLE."

Okay, the typical "rules of speech" might lead you to sound the word like "NIX-EL" -- but, consider -- if you want people to visit the site they may have never heard of -- they MAY NOT find it by looking for "Nix-el" (might even give up, in frustration, and miss-out on this important service).

They are more likely to find it by looking for "NIX - LE," so they get the spelling right. And finding it is the main thing.  Be sure to tell them and spell-out "NIXLE.COM."

Action

I immediately enrolled and and have arranged for its advisories to automatically post to the Civic Mentor Bulletin Board.  

You would also do well subscribe, so you receive their email notifications, directly.  This link takes you there

Below is the automatic confirmation response to my recent enrollment, which explains further.
