Steel Valley Matters is launching a new Community Information Service designed to deliver important and timely information to residents in our area using the latest technology.
Residents of The Steel Valley can now take advantage of Nixle, a community information service that alerts you to community information and events via web, e-mail, and cell phone. Nixle is completely free, simple, and trusted. You can sign up at www.nixle.com and share this new service with friends and neighbors to spread the word!
We are very excited to have you experience it for yourself.
Nixle is a new community information service provider built exclusively to provide secure and reliable communications. Its authenticated service connects municipal agencies and community organizations to residents in real time, delivering information to geographically targeted consumers over their cell phones (via text messages), through e-mails and through Web access. Nixle is offered at no cost to all governments, their agencies and organizations, nongovernmental organizations and consumers.
For now, Steel Valley residents will be able to receive community-related information via Nixle. Channels providing other kinds of information may be introduced in the future.

Craig Mitnick, the founder and CEO of Nixle, said Nixle differs from current services such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, which provide unauthenticated platforms for connections. Nixle solves that problem by providing a single standardized service for consumers to receive immediate and credible neighborhood-level public safety and community information. Mr. Mitnick said, “When it comes to public safety information, you have to trust the source. Residents of The Steel Valley can rest easy that the local messages they receive are authentic.” “Nixle is a first-of-its-kind tool for communities that need to provide critical information to their residents,” said Craig Mitnick, founder and CEO.
