Every place is a network.
From your home to your neighbourhood, your county to your nation —
community-owned, community-governed.
While small towns may only have a bio featured on Wikipedia, a city typically has its own website. But does it represent your city on the whole?
Does it connect its people and professionals?
Does it network its organizations and companies?
Does it showcase their goods and services — or facilitate your needs and wants?
Can it engage visitors and interact with other cities and towns?
Can you participate in your city’s website as a resident?
Not likely.
So how do you best connect with your city online? For friends and known contacts, you likely call, text, email, post, and follow them directly through a bunch of apps and websites. But for most else in your city, it’s a Google search.
You search to find your needs and wants from others who depend on search engines and third-party agencies to be discovered. But navigating multiple networks, apps, and sites can be overwhelming. For businesses, it’s often for little return on investment.
In the digital universe, we are fragmented across many worlds with no mutual place we call home.
Your home. Your office. Your city. Your county.
Each one is a place in the Pockets World network — with its own profile, its own stream, its own community directory. You can participate as a resident, connect with people and businesses around you, and engage with your city the way you always should have been able to.
This isn’t a social network you visit. It’s a neighbourhood you belong to.
Your personal profile is your home online — the smallest unit in the network. Your professional profile is your office. Your city, your county, your country — each is a layer outward from where you actually live.
This is not geography as an abstraction. It is the world as it is actually built: from homes.
Every level has its own community, its own commons, and its own economy. Revenue stays at the level it was generated — it doesn’t get extracted upward.
Online, we’re all homeless. But for some people, that’s not a metaphor.
The WeCare program gives every person — regardless of circumstance — an online home. A digital address. A place to receive, participate, and exist in the local economy.
A Utility Account costs nothing. It takes a name, an email, and a phone number. From there, a person can access the community commons, connect with services, receive support through the county trust, and begin building a presence in the local economy — with a QR wallet, community trust access, and a path toward independence.
We’re making an online home for people who don’t have one. In every sense of the word.
Pockets is a world of online city networks — a new approach for people, organizations, and companies to connect, search, discover, and share as residents.
