TORONTO, April 21, 2015 /CNW/ – Calling all charities and social enterprises – new social app Plaza wants you to help kick start the discussion on the topics, issues and causes that matter most. Plaza breaks down barriers globally to discuss locally. Available for free download on iPhone and iPad on the App Store (bit.ly/plazaapp) now.

Plaza is the dynamic new social network that brings your city to life!  Discover interesting local content and share yourself with friends, family and the people around you. Plaza supports text, audio, photo and video, and functions like a local forum (think Reddit meets Google Maps). You can choose to post either publicly or anonymously. Organizing a local event or protesting a cause? With Plaza, you can gather supporters by creating your own custom categories on almost any niche topic.

Plaza Special Features:

• Feeds from your city or from anywhere around the World
• Choose from Hundreds of Avatars that best represent you
• Post in local city or world categories
• Use text, audio, photo and video to express yourself
• Easily switch between public and anonymous posting modes
• Create niche local categories to communicate in
• Follow other users and friends anonymously or via Facebook
• Change cities and see what’s happening somewhere else

“Our original idea was to create a live feed for an entire city. Social networking is trending further towards local communication, but sometimes it can get boring seeing posts from the same people on Facebook,” said Spencer Graham, Founder, Plaza. “With Plaza, we created a platform that allows users to see posts from any person that shares the same city. The name Plaza is fitting since that’s the center of a city where people gather.”

Plaza is engaging charities nationally to gain exclusive access and share messages relating to their chosen cause and issue. By providing a forum for open discussion, Plaza aims to unite communities in common interests and causes, while highlighting the commendable efforts of the organizations that are on the ground everyday making a difference.

Have your say in a dynamic and relevant way by engaging those in your community. Login to see what everyone is talking about.
