    Yes indeed.  And thanks for posting this.
     
    I do wish the Trustees and the Village Manager would participate, as it would be an efficient way for them to disseminate information and answer questions without having to do so repeatedly.  Or they could add from it to the FAQ section on the Village website.  I would think it most arrogant if they weren't reading all the boards regularly.

    I was glad Katy Rush mentioned that "people have an expectation of quick responses" which I think is true. I admit there's a lot of information to keep up with, but there are tools for dealing with it. It's overwhelming otherwise. I also agree online is a good way for village government to communicate with residents. I subscribe to the Riverside Newsflash E-Flash, but there isn't much (anything?) about the TIF there (and I imagine people would complain that government resources are being used to promote one side or the other - like the criticism of using the water bill insert to disseminate apparently pro-TIF information.)

    1. Firefox has Live Bookmarks. Updates are pushed to the browser rather than pulled. That way, you don't have to go to the site to check for updates: you just check your bookmarks for updates

    2. Internet Explorer 7 also has support for RSS feeds. Same idea as Live Bookmarks: the updates come to you.

    3. You can use a personal home page at Google. On that page, you can put any number of RSS feeds or live bookmarks, plus all sorts of other content. I think Yahoo has something similar. See this screenshot for how I have the updates on my personalized Google home page.

    4. Even Riverside Traders has an RSS feed. You can load that in a personalized home page at Google or Yahoo, in IE7 and in Firefox too.

    Some people call it "the river of news." It's too much to keep up with manually, and will only become more difficult to keep up with in the future.
