Welcome to KXAN.com's new social platform!

So what is this new part of our site all about? Well, let's start with what we're not. We're not trying to steal or recreate Facebook or Twitter. We love those mediums because it lets us talk to you and keep you informed.

This platform is for you to talk to us and to each other. We want to see your weather photos, your videos of surfers during a hurricane; we want to read your blogs and give you a place to comment on others' thoughts. In short we want to created a news community for the central Texas area.

Sign up for an account. Your account will be good for uploading photos and video to fox10tv.com, and in the near future, commenting on stories, entering contests and more. Become a Member of a specific group. Groups are the first place we look for photos to use on WALA-TV. Share your Photos or Video. Photos and video uploaded any group will also appear in your personal photo gallery.
