Have you used the service? Nextdoor absolutely has a configurable newsfeed built from scratch to be highly scalable...it seems like you're forming your opinion based on outdated information.
There's also a feed of "Nearby Neighborhoods" and a City Platform that feeds in alerts and information from police and local government.
It's literally everything you described and more.
- debt 12y agoI still use NextDoor, but they somehow(even though EveryBlock is much older) don't have nearly as much data as EveryBlock seemed to have access too. Or maybe EveryBlock had a much better design that seemed to communicate the data they had more effectively than NextDoor. EveryBlock had solved a good-"News Feed"-for-the-neighborhood problem. NextDoor has yet do that as effectively.
- secabeen 12y agoEveryblock tried to pull in public data about the neighborhood and post it automatically. I've never seen a NextDoor post that wasn't human generated. That's the main difference.
- erinalexa 12y agoEveryblock pulls in Chicago public data pretty well, it's one of my favorite things about the site.
- Rapzid 12y agoThat's incredibly useful.. Imagine if people got involved in something like that which also piped in local, county, and State political news.. Like proposed bills and upcoming votes.
- erinalexa 12y agoI'm thankful to have Everyblock back in Chicago (even if it primarily serves as a do-go project by Comcast now). I truly appreciate all the automatically pulled in data-- learned about new restaurants, violent crimes etc.
