Do you know the neighbours ?
« on: 17:01:02, 25/04/07 »
two of us have set up a new national community website to help with communication and social interaction. we are 4 months old and the publics response has been great. we still however don't know if the site will work as intended. i think we will have to wait for 2 yrs at least to see how it goes. we hope to be featured in the manchester newspaper sent out by the council this june - fingers crossed.

it is based around the home and each persons local area. the site is not really about being nosey and finding out about the neighbours, rather providing a meeting place people can go to to team up based around everyday features of life.
such as car sharing, activities, finding someone to clean the widows or mow the lawn. plus many more things. we hope to develop new sections as time allows. have a look in coming soon to get an idea.

some people dont like the idea because of security, but we think that is just because the site is new and unproven. it only needs your postcode to work and this is never shown in full - only the first part. you all have control over your profiles so can edit, hide or delete yourselves at any time.

i would be interested in what people think if the criticism is constructive and not taking the michael too much. regards. whosyourneighbour.co.uk
