The Neighborhood Exchange - Open Testing

From: The Founder

I want to thank our early testers for providing feedback on what our site needed to include to make it useful as a neighborhood communications tool. The site now provides both private and public neighborhood group options and a multitude of privacy settings for users, as a result. We are now in the final stage of our planned testing. This is where the rubber meets the road--real world testing--inviting neighbors to try out the site and requesting and receiving their feedback.

With the above said, you are invited to try out the site and provide your feedback. Feel free to explore the site at www.theneighborhoodexchange.com on your desktop or mobile device.

Your feedback is welcome here or via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

When you know your neighbors, and have the ability to contact them, you have a valuable resource for gathering recommendations and for obtaining support for community issues. The Neighborhood Exchange was created to facilitate getting to know your neighbors and being able to contact them when you need to. I hope you find the site enjoyable and most of all useful.

The Home Page

Registration is fairly simple. You can manually register or use the provided Facebook or Twitter sign-in options. If just exploring the site, you can select the Community Profile as your registration profile. The other profiles are primarily for public and private group participation.

Exploring Neighborhood Groups

To explore the available group communication options, simply click the Groups menu link and then click the Join Group button of your chosen group.

A Closed Group, requires approval prior to being granted membership in the Group.
An Open Group, displayed, on the other hand allows joining the group without any approval requirement.
An Invite Group requires that all members first be invited in order to join. The display of the group is hidden from all site users except its members.
