Published purpose
Village Media plans to develop an integrated social networking platform into our existing Community Publishing Platform ("Villager") called SPACES. This new technology will take the best elements of other platforms such as Facebook (Groups), Nextdoor, and Reddit and weave them into the fabric of a a local news platform, all while using modern day AI/ML engines to accelerate scale and efficiency. SPACES will help Village Media and other local new companies attract new readers, increase frequency of visits and increase depth of engagement through time on site and pages viewed by engaging our readers in public dialogue. We expect SPACES will be a unique, proprietary component of Villager, accelerating our licensing efforts across the globe.
