Arrr … What Makes a Neighbourhood?

Neighbourhoods are communities where people interact and share things in close proximity that enrich each others’ lives.

But, as the world get’s busier and we become more disconnected this happens less (and less).

However, social media is filling the gaps fast.  I’m not talking about Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Mozilla or that kind of application.  There are all sorts of even more edgy and far more local facilities like Neighbourhoodr.

Neighborhoodr is a local neighborhood blog network where anyone can quickly and easily post about what's happening in their neighborhood without having to log in or register. It’s already available in the following cities in the USA and around the world.

Some of the US cities where it's operating include Austin
, Baltimore, 
Boston, 
Charlotte,
 Chicago
, Columbus
, Dallas, 
Denver
, Detroit, 
El Paso, 
Fort Worth, 
Houston, 
Indianapolis
, Jacksonville, 
Los Angeles, 
Memphis, 
Nashville, 
New York
, Philadelphia, 
Phoenix, 
San Antonio
, San Diego
, San Francisco
, San Jose
, and Seattle.  And, internationally it's operating in Barcelona, Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Paris, Rome, Singapore, Toronto and Vancouver

Neighborhoodr says that over time, cities will have their individual neighborhoods represented, as the demand for that neighborhood presents itself.  And, that if they receive or see enough content from any particular neighborhood, they’ll launch a neighborhood page devoted to that hood.

For instance in New York there are already more than 50 neighborhoods.

This is an example of how larger strata building complex can create a resident, owner and neighbour contact space.  And, even smaller strata buildings could create a similar community with neighbouring buildings on or near their block.

So, why not explore and try to create your own strata neighbourhoodr?
