Resident Welfare Associations portals now on Facebook

GURGAON: In the past few months, the online society portals have been gaining in popularity in Gurgaon. And now, to make the process even simpler, the portals are being made available on the popular social networking site, Facebook.
So if you are a Gurgaon resident who is unhappy about the security services in your society or want to complain about your neighbors' dog but don't have the time to attend the society meetings or visit the estate office, do not fret.All you need to do is to logon to your societal portal via your Facebook account and do the needful.
The objective of launching the Facebook application is to simplify the whole approach to the society porta l usage.
According to Kushal Arora, secretary of Vipul Greens RWA, "Residents have been enjoying the features of our society portal for over six months now, which has improved communication among people and has also enhanced information dissemination. We now look forward to the Facebook integration feature, which is expected to increase our website usage. "
Vineet Sharma, secretary, Silver Oaks Condominium Association RWA, said, "We had launched our society portal couple of years ago and it has been fairly successful. However, we did regularly used to receive 'forgot username and password' requests. I personally feel this is a great initiative to launch the Facebook application where people don't need to remember their society portal's usernames and passwords seperately, but can logon directly."
Ravi Mohan Harjai, president, Suncity City Heights RWA, commented, "We are very excited about the Facebook application as it will help the RWAs to reach out to more people. While we have the web portal which has been very helpful in disseminating communication, the Facebook application, I am sure, will encourage more users.
Residential societies powered by 'JustMyNeighbour.com' can now 'Like' an application and add it to their Facebook page, which will direct residents to their very own portal on the networking site.
Abhishek Jain, co-founder of JustMyNeighbour.com, said, "Our website enables residents to register complaints, share notices and information, post discussion threads and replies through the Facebook application.
