Columbia Citizens

Feed your habit: another way to get your Wikli fix. The Citizens' Wikli is the collaborative weekly circular of Columbia Citizens. It relays announcements and messages of interest to Columbia City neighbors. Anyone can contribute, and anyone can edit. Many Citizens get weekly emailed alerts pointing them to the latest Wikli. Here's another option: get them as a news feed. Feeds are a convenient and timely way to find out about updates to sites. Feeds arrive as bulleted items for easy browsing. You'll need a feed reader to view updates. Columbia Citizens offers a variety of feeds, so you can home in on what interests you — read more.

… But if you'd prefer to get emailed Wikli alerts, that's fine too. Just ask.

For this week's Wikli, the emailed alert focuses on shifting to a bigger system, with alerts that'll look a lot like this.

Alerts go to hundreds of neighbors, numbers that have begun to test the limits of standard email. In terms of neighbor outreach, that's a great problem to have. In terms of bleary-eyed late-night messaging, it's something of a logistical challenge.

A solution is to move the Citizens' list to a reliable email service, like feedblitz.com

• Like the current arrangement, you'll get one Wikli alert per week — it'll look something like this.
• From the Columbia Citizens discussion board, you can also opt in to get a daily digest of Citizen comments.
• This system protects your email privacy.
• The switch should be hassle-free, and opting out is also straightforward — there's an "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each alert.

You're welcome to get a jump on it now.

Thanks.

Columbia Citizens get a chunk of change this week. And we're not talking about tax rebates. We're talking about change at Columbia Plaza, in library staffing, and in street improvements.

Here are some highlights —

• Columbia Plaza is up for another round of public review with the Landmarks Committee.
• The City plans for street improvements.
• Columbia librarians are leaving.
• Two simultaneous (?) strategy sessions to improve public schools.
• Booty Camp comes to Seward Park.

There's all that and more.

Last week we streamlined Wikli emailed alerts. What better time to spread the Wikli word? So this week only, alerts go out to the gamut of local lists. Please pardon the repeats if you belong to more than one list.
