Do you want to allow various support groups to post their existence on your website; helping people with a need find groups that can help them? SlipStream will support this while protecting the groups' privacy.

You can post a description of the various groups, including general information, tags, and general or exact location. Site visitors can search for nearby support groups by specifying a state and city, or by specifying a radius around a zip code. If the group has authorized the release of its meeting address, a link to Google Maps is provided.

But there's more to support groups than their physical location or the geographic region they cover. In fact some groups might not be defined by their location at all but, rather, by their common need, hobby, travel experience, sport, area of academic study, etc.. The more unique the need or interest, the greater the service you provide and the more important it is for people to search for a group using tools other than just the geographic location. SlipStream allows you to assign multiple tags to each group that will not only allow the search engine to find the group, but will allow the visitor to filter down the list of groups to meet his specific need.

And what if the user isn't even aware of the support group page but does a search from somewhere else on the webstie? The search engine can still find it for him!

 

And SlipStream protects the groups' privacy in the process. If a group doesn't want their full address displayed, it can be blocked. There is a single point of initial contact with the group, and a visitor can not view that contact information. If he wants to learn more about the group he can submit a form that is sent to the group's contact person. Meanwhile, SlipStream monitors the submissions to protect against spammers.
