I've tried with others in the past to interest the town and other organizations in a single event site for the area where tourists could find everything going on. Unfortunately, even when I was willing to donate the domain TaosCalendar.com, we couldn't get the town or other major players involved.

Some have businesses which sell space on calendars, so they didn't want a free one. Others just don't seem to grasp the value of a single "place to go" to learn about Taos, plan a visit, or check out local photos and videos. There are fine sites out there, like the Taos News site, and they have a calendar, but I wanted more, like discussion forums and the ability for members to participate, no matter how large or small their business, or just individual artists and other residents.

There is now a brand new site at TaosTalk.com, and it's open to anyone who wants to join, and will always be free.  In sponsoring this site, I'm hoping that the many talented individual artists and writers in the area will get involved, as well as all residents and businesses.  The site allows individual members to:

  • have their own blog
  • participate in discussion forums by group interest
  • upload photos, videos and music
  • promote a business via a blog or discussion participation

Please consider joining the site and participating.  It's small because it's just days old as I write this, but it should grow quickly.  Check out the features and for those who do not have a Web presence, try blogging there.  If you're an artist, upload photos of your work, if a musician, upload samples of your music.

I don't hear it, so can't comment.  Do you?
