Instead n0tice makes money by selling advertising, and often that actually means taking a small percentage of the advertising revenue earned by n0tice users who successfully build communities on their own noticeboards. When you post to a noticeboard you are helping to build that community and hopefully to support the noticeboard owners in your local area.

How should n0tice be used with my blog?

The combination of voices on the ground reporting raw information about what’s happening around them and the analytical, edited, curated approach to a blog or news web site can be very powerful.
