I've been on Nextdoor for months now. Here's my take on it: if you need to get recommendations for local businesses, it's great. Most of the rest is headache-inducing display of NIMBYism, self-righteousness, self-entitlement and armchair politics. It's basically watered-down Facebook -- without the benefit of having friends -- that happens to be a pretty decent complement to Yelp.
- TallGuyShort 7y agoI'm suspicious of it's value for local business recommendations. I've used it in 3 neighborhoods and it seems like it's mostly everyone just recommending their friend's business. Is that not everyone else's experience? At least that's better than all the people hawking their multi-level marketing crap.
- TomVDB 7y agoThe recommendation part is not my experience. (The whining about suspicious people walking on the street OTOH...) We pretty much only use Nextdoor for the occasional recommendation or when we have some garage stuff to sell/give away.
