Forums are an online equivalent of a bulletin board. People participating in an online forum can build bonds around certin topics or areas of interest. In Broadmoor’s case, they are using the forum to address everything from quality of life to crime prevention to education.
The Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA) is the principal civic organization for this diverse, thriving community in the heart of New Orleans. Since Katrina, the BIA has spearheaded community efforts to rebuild Broadmoor better than before.
The BIA uses several social networking tools on their website, but for this post we are going to look at forums as a tool for connecting neighbors within a specific geography.
