It's Only the Beginning – Nirav Tolia
summary
A local social network called Nextdoor connects neighbors for practical needs and safety using a neighborhood-only feed and verification system, launched in 2010 and now active in 50,000 neighborhoods with over 35% of U.S. neighborhoods signed up; common uses include finding babysitters, pet recovery and trusted service recommendations, neighbors reporting crime and organizing help, and the platform credits a dozen missing children found—expansion to Europe begins later this year.
