Too much competition.

Monday, September 25th, 2006

How many community portals does one county need?  I was doing some searching today to find new and interesting Pictou County stuff and found another new portal that is under construction.  So now if you want to find info on Pictou County you have more than a couple of choices.  Check these out:

  1. Pictou County Search.com – The best and most user friendly local portal in my opinion.  It’s very new and still needs some content, but go here first.
  2. Pictou County.com – Local directory with many community links.  Events, news, weather and more.  I think this is the longest running of the local sites and has all the info you need.
  3. Pictou County Links.com – A local links directory page with lots of local info.  Sites can be reviewed and rated by visitors.  Most popular sites show in left menu.  This site is very new and needs more content.
  4. Pictou County Search.ning.com – Hmmmm!?  I don’t even know what this is, but it’s showing up in the search engines a lot.  Looks good, but no content.  I’m almost thinking it’s something I did because of the Pictou County Search in the name.  I’ll have to check it out again later.
  5. Pictou County.ca – Here’s the newest one I found.  This site is under construction but will eventually have: town websites, classifieds, business directory, events calendar etc.  All the stuff you want in a local portal…that you can already find in most of the sites listed here.  I’m confused.  Another portal?
  6. Pictou County Connects – This is a big time portal with seemingly lots of money behind it.  You can see ad spots on the local TV channel and ads in the local paper.  There is a lot of info here.  However I think it could be a little more user friendly.  It also seems a little slow loading pages.
  7. TruroNS.com – Community portal for Truro, Nova Scotia.
  8. The Hawk Road – Community portal for Antigonish.
  9. Icon Village – Another portal.
  10. EZ Guide – And another portal.
  11. Home Town New Glasgow – And can you believe it?  Another portal.

I think I got them all.  Wow is there really room for that many portals for such a small area?  I guess we’ll find out.  Or at least I will being the admin for Pictou County Search.
