CloseWhat is this site?
This is a civic social network for people, groups and businesses located in the Madison area.

What can I do here?
We aim to foster community, group discussion and individual expression. Every registered member of this site can have a blog, photo gallery, video gallery, and a profile. You can be as public or private as you want in what you choose to share. You can add 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, you can start or join groups within this community. Groups can be anything from a parenting discussion to a forum for disc golf players, a neighborhood 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 madison.com?
Yes! Businesses can participate with a profile of their own. All basic business listings are free, and they’re managed by madison.com staff. To really take advantage of this 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. These profiles, connected to the well-established madison.com site, might help in your search engine optimization efforts as well. Contact our sales staff if you’re interested. E-mail marketplace@madison.com or call 608-252-6200.
