Calhoun County Alabama News on GetCalhoun.com

Local news is back on the website of Calhoun County Alabama!

A followup on local news on GetCalhoun.com.

I have always felt that local news on GetCalhoun.com would be a good thing for the website and the community.

The questions I asked were:

• How to go about it? (I'm a one man crew here.)
• Would it be worth the effort to enhance the website.
• Would it be viewed by the local population?

Three months ago, subjective time, I set about to answer those questions and developed a news page to see how it would fare on Google.

The results are in. Not only are folks looking at my Calhoun County Alabama news page but Google has seen it favorably also.

Here's the deal. Since putting on my news hat to try and compete with The Anniston Star is impossible at this time, I lit on a not uncheap news gathering gizmonic that lets me quickly find articles of interest to me, and hopefully you from not only local sources, but from around the world as well.

Even so, editing the page takes about an hour each day. I think it is time well spent.

So, with all the news available, why should you take a peek at MY news page? Let me tell you.

The Calhoun County News is a collection of curated news. That is, it is a compilation of news from different sources. What you'll find is a collection of news snips. If you're interested in learning more, just click on them to go to the source. Each article is well attributed to the source, by the way. That's how curated content works.

What makes my Calhoun County Alabama News interesting, I think, is the articles that I choose to curate. Where else can you learn about what's going on in Anniston or Oxford Alabama as well as Siberia, Japan, and of course, North Korea, Cuba, Paris, and Rome to name a few places?

You'll find interesting, insightful, and often downright strange news to keep you captivated for at least 5 minutes a day. Videos too.

When you curate news the world is your news basket, and a particularly overflowing basket it is!

So, come by and see MY news picks when you think of it and if you have something to add, my contact information is on every other page.

And PS.... Mr. or Mrs. business advertiser... The banner space at the top is always available for you. My local community website called GetCalhoun.com since 2002 is a POWERFUL and CHEAP way to get your biz found and I can PROVE it. Just ask me.
