		<description><![CDATA[A proposal for dynamic location-based social networks.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/16/does-your-building-need-a-social-network-why-not/">This post at TechCrunch about residence-based social networks</a> reminded me about an idea I had about a year ago for a similar system.</p>
<p>I was going to call it Neighbor.ly and register <a href="http://neighbor.ly">the obvious domain</a> (.ly being Libia&#8217;s TLD).  Users would register with their physical address and would then be grouped into dynamic networks consisting of all the other registered users within X number of city blocks.  The features available to users would be the standard message boards, marketplace, invitation system, etc.  I think it could be successful (and I&#8217;m sure there are already a few sites doing something similar) but at $150/yr for just the domain, I decided that it was too spendy for something that I might never get off the ground.</p>
<p>So now that I&#8217;ve put it out there, you&#8217;re free to go ahead and register neighbor.ly and see my plans through, but I want a 5% stake.  Deal?  Deal.</p>
