what is nextdoor

Nextdoor is a social networking service for neighborhoods that connects neighbors based on their location. It was founded in 2008 and is based in San Francisco, California. Nextdoor allows neighbors within the same geographical area to share information, communicate, and interact with posts made by neighbors. It is similar to other social media platforms, but instead of your newsfeed being filled with friends and family, its the people who live in your neighborhood. Nextdoor is generally used as a hub for making posts about finding lost keys in a local park, sharing pictures of raccoons terrorizing trash cans, or to alert others of small crimes and air grievances. It is also a platform where neighbors routinely ask for recommendations for home repair, real estate, and maintenance. To join Nextdoor, you can download it for iOS or Android or sign up on its website. Once you have joined, you can invite others to join Nextdoor at any time.
