A KnowingTree is an online community building and information sharing resource. Groups, organizations and families sponsor a KnowingTree and then invite their members or customers to help build a database by completing an online questionnaire. The information immediately posts to personal listing pages including an optional photograph.
Participants return to view listing pages, search the database and to update their information.
A KnowingTree creates a sense of community by making it easier for group and organizational members to get to know each other and to share information. A KnowingTree would be useful for any group that would benefit from a stronger sense of community and by sharing knowledge. Such groups include families, friends, students, alumni groups, association members, departments, employee groups, customer groups, members of religious organizations, wellness program participants, health club members, teams, neighbors, people with special needs and conference attendees. Organization members are given a user name and password for the KnowingTree and a web address. Organization members enter the KnowingTree by clicking on a special link that has been added to the organization's web site.
