Who will dominate neighborhood networking?
Locational social networking in the form of neighborhood networks is a space that's heating up. NextDoor was recently funded by Benchmark. And Chuck Templeton's OhSoWe, DeHood, NeighborGoods.net, GoGoVerde, and even Zaarly are in the game.
The classic example - the average power-drill is used for just 6 minutes in its lifetime, yet 50% of homes own one. Why not share or rent?
People already have a website for their social identity (Facebook), and a website for their professional identity (LinkedIn). Is the 'civic identity' next? We at localblu believe it is.
