In this fast-paced era, we have to do zillions of things (literally) in a day-going everywhere physically, and meeting people personally seems so much hassle which nobody can afford. Luckily, we have social media through which we can simultaneously plan a meeting, chat with a friend, call our mom, and

schedule our work plan with the colleagues and what not! We can connect with as many people as we want, anywhere around the world using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn e.t.c. — which is why the contemporary world has turned out to be a global village.

Besides all these benefits, these social platforms do have some limitations. You can connect with a far-off stranger and know about him/her but we are still missing a very important niche in this eco-system, what if we want to connect with the people living in our neighborhood these existing social media networks do not seem to be a right option. Consider, If you are a newcomer in a community and you want to interact with your

neighbors by using any of the above mentioned social media networks. You realize the importance of neighborhood connectivity when you came across some emergency, looking for some recommendations related to the neighborhood or want to plan a quick catch up for a house party of activity in your neighborhood. There are zillions of situations in which you

want to connect to your neighbors but unfortunately do not have a way to reach them.
