What is My.nwi.com?
My.nwi.com is a civic social network for people, groups and businesses located in the Northwest Indiana and south suburban Illinois area.

OK, but what does that mean?
We’re aiming to foster a local community dedicated to discussion and expression. At our sister site, www.nwi.com, we cover events that our reporters and editors dig up. This site is dedicated to the stories and thoughts that happen around or adjacent to those events.

At My.nwi.com, every person has a personal blog, photo gallery, video gallery, and a profile. You can be as public or private as you want to in what you share. You can add other people to your friends list, as you would on sites like myspace or facebook. Click here for the full FAQ on how to manage your profile and online posts.

In addition to your individual space on My.nwi.com, you also have the option to join different groups within the community. Groups can be anything from a parenting discussion to a forum for disc golf players, a neighborhood watch association, or a way for local musicians to keep in touch with each other. If you’re interested in hosting an existing group with us, just let us know – it’s free and we’re happy to help. Just drop us a line or get started by clicking here.

Can I promote my Business on My.nwi.com?
Yes! Businesses can participate in this local community with a profile of their own. All basic business listings are free, and they’re managed by the My.nwi.com staff. To really take advantage of the My.nwi.com network, businesses can purchase an enhanced profile for a small monthly fee. This allows businesses to stay in touch with their most loyal customers, offer coupons, showcase products and announce special events. And since we’re connected to the well-established stltoday.com network, these profiles just might help in your search engine optimization efforts as well. Contact our sales staff if you’re interested by email at mailto:onlinesales@nwitimes.com?subject=Promote My Business.  

Is there anything I can’t do?
You can post anything you’d like here, within reason. Check out terms of service for the full rundown of do’s and don’ts , but it basically boils down to common sense and common courtesy. If you wouldn’t say it in public, don’t post it in public.
