Scott began his own computer retail and repair shop in Luverne 15 years ago. In order to adapt to the changing landscape of technology and retail, he began an online newspaper, Luverne Area Chatter, as an informational source for entertainment, businesses, and news in Southwest Minnesota through Facebook. In a short time, what began as a way to promote businesses and ideas and to spur retail growth and tourism for Luverne (and thus helping his OWN business), soon exploded into something with a life all its own. Events like this spring’s mid-April snowstorm, for example, yielded an average 75,000 unique visitors per day for Luverne Area Chatter. Through the coordination of the Chatter along with the Facebook pages of local businesses, the community has been able to boost their image, their impact, and just as importantly, their bottom lines.
