Meet Your Neighbors, but Just Not in Personis the title of an article in Monday’s NY Times about socializing close to home….real close, like in your neighborhood..or closer yet, in your apartment building. Two companies appear to have captured the market there to date. One has been around since 2004. The other only since March of this year.I think it’s a pretty clever concept. Am curious as to what everyone else (well not everyone else, but lots of folks) think. Could something like this fly in Chicago? Would anyone use it….maybe in the dead of a Chicago January when you had a craving for some great Thai food and were tired of all the neighborhood places you knew. Hey high rise dwellers…. would you use a network like this?

As a temporary high-rise dweller, I can say this has already started to happen to me. I met someone who seemed cool in the hot tub (I know, I know - sounds like the beginning of a different kind of story), we started talking and found out we have a lot in common. So I plan to keep up that connection. It seems like it could potentially work if more formalized! Post a comment
