Step 3 option: Join an existing network
previous page

Joining public networks is super easy. Click on the “Join Nets” tab, look at the network offerings there and if you find one you like, click “Join Now.” Bingo you've joined a network!

If you see a network with an "apply to join" link and you want to join, click the link and a message will be automatically be sent to the administrator of the network. If the administrator approves your request you will be automatically added to the network and you'll get a message to that effect in your message page.

Once you've joined a network you will find it under the “My Nets” tab.

At this point in our young like, there are not many public networks available to join. However you may always join any of the CityTools public networks that you like.

At this moment, many publishers appear to be setting up private (invisible) networks. This may be the case forever, but we suspect it's more a function of people getting their feet wet.

As time passes we expect to see more public appearing. In the meantime feel free to join any of the CityTools networks.


In any event, if you click "join" on an open network, you're ready for Step 4 Uploading my data and mapping my categories
