The purpose of the WCOT Message Board is to provide citizens of the City of Tallahassee with information about local government projects, policies and events, as well as providing updates on job opportunities with the City. In the event of an emergency, the Message Board would be used to disseminate vital safety information to citizens. Current Situation WCOT uses IVBB software to provide an interactive message board to viewers. This system uses a dedicated computer and provides simple text on a solid color background and is designed to provide detailed information.
Viewers can call into the system and request that specific pages of information appear.
This overrides the system and the requested messages appear for all viewers. There are approximately 3,200 calls per month. They are predominately requests for job listings. The current software is limited graphically. There is only one font style and its size cannot be altered.
