As community marketers we get to work with people from all over the country, and we’ve found that there are interesting people everywhere. The people you see every day on the bus, in the grocery store, and even in your own home are each unique in their own way and have unique experiences to share. More than anything else, it’s the combination of these distinct characters and their experiences that make a community special.

But sometimes you have to look hard and listen closely to find these great stories if you’re looking in from the outside. Occasionally, you’ll hear one from a stranger at a coffee shop when you’re passing through, but let’s face it, unless you spend all of your time there, you aren’t really going to hear many of the great stories that these communities have to tell.

That’s why we’ve created the CommunityLink CLOUD. Unlike a cloud in the sky looking down from high above or the puff from a Montecristo that can sometimes fog the view, Our CLOUD (CommunityLink Online Uber Directory) provides a ground level look at communities to give you a clear view of what they have to offer. We have thousands of resources relating to communities throughout the U.S. and we’ve taken all that data, including up-close stories in many cases, and put them together in an information cloud on the World Wide Web.

Included in the CommunityLink CLOUD are articles of interest, community publications in digital form, weather, demographics, photos, videos, current news, twitter feeds, relocation information, links to resourceful community websites, points of interest, maps, and other useful information. Not only does our CLOUD respond to your computer queries, but if you are on your mobile, you can still have the luxury of viewing the same information. And best of all, if your community isn’t in the CommunityLink Cloud yet, you – or anyone – can add a resourceful link and it will begin appearing.

Without further ado, we introduce to you the CommunityLink Cloud – Check it out!

Edwardsville and Glen Carbon represent the best of Southwestern Illinois living. These twin cities are positioned in an ideal geographic location that allows them to simultaneously tap into all the amenities of an urban existence while still maintaining a small-town identity at their cores.
Although both communities are equally steeped in vibrant histories — Edwardsville is actually the third-oldest city in the state of Illinois — Edwardsville and Glen Carbon are not slowly diminishing roadside attractions. Instead, these communities are thriving centers of population growth and economic development. They are fundamentally strong communities in which to raise a family, offering the best in public education, a diverse spectrum of higher education opportunities, and a wealth of quality health care options.
