As of 2010, there is no dominant (or even major) social networking site for neighbors. Neighbor Tree aims to fill in that gap by letting neighbors connect and organize like never before.
The key element here might as well be that the networking sites which can be created are built and run by the residents themselves, not by a HOA or a property manager.
These community websites are available for virtually any type of residential community. This includes not only traditional neighborhoods, subdivisions and apartment buildings but also condos and the like.
Each community website is independent, and has its own membership base and content management. Features such as news, announcements, calendars, downloads, photo albums and polling are actively included. For its part, direct communication is made possible via a private messaging platform.
Moreover, the company shares part of its ad revenue with all the participating communities, and extra incentives are provided to these neighbors who volunteer to recruit advertisement and sponsorship partners in their local communities.
