Local News and Social Networking Site OCCommunityNetwork.com Officially Launches for Orange County

    ORANGE, CA, July 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Online Orange County local news/event and social networking site, OCCommunityNetwork.com, has announced its official launch today in Orange County, California.

With its growing membership, OCCommunityNetwork.com is quickly becoming the local social networking choice of Orange County residents and businesses.

The comprehensive Web site caters to the Orange County community by providing local news, events, classifieds, a dining guide, and a business and service directory.

Membership in OCCommunityNetwork.com is free, and its Orange County-based members connect with each other through activity posts, groups and forums. Members can also publish blogs, and add news and events to the site.

Member groups include "Free Things to Do in Orange County," Special OC Offers and Discounts, "Orange County Small Business Networking," "Orange County Singles Activities," and "Desperate Paws of Orange County Dog Club."

OCCommunityNetwork.com was founded by Joan Yankowitz, a publishing and marketing executive. Yankowitz brings more than 20 years of experience to her role as Editor and Publisher of the website.

"After researching online local news and events sites and finding them lacking in the ability for the community to interact, I developed OCCommunityNetwork.com with a social networking component for people who want to know what's going on in Orange County, and also want to connect and contribute," said Yankowitz.

"My goal is not only to provide relevant news and events to the Orange County community, but to have a destination where they can network, get involved, share their stories, and grow. And through our classifieds, dining guide, and business directory, I'm also able to offer the Orange County business community low-cost, targeted local marketing opportunities."

Already, OCCommunityNetwork.com has generated a significant amount of buzz in Orange County as it continues to grow its membership base and meet the need of the local community.

Created by online publisher and marketer, Joan Yankowitz, OCCommunityNetwork.com focuses on local Orange County news/events and social networking. The site serves as a resource for the Orange County community by providing local news, events, classifieds, dining guide, and a business and service directory. Before launching OCCommunityNetwork.com, Yankowitz served as Editor and Publisher of several national and regional online and print publications.
