A New Way to Connect With Neighbors
WhitePages online phone book launched a new feature called Neighbors, which allows you to easily get in touch with the people who live near you, even if you don't know their name.
Be honest, do you know all your neighbors' names? I sure don't, at least not yet.
According to a survey commissioned by online phone book company WhitePages (albeit for the launch of a new product), about half of people can identify their neighbors' cars better than their neighbors' names.
Now, if you're looking for a new-age way to organize a block party, neighborhood watch committee or just call a neighbor you don't know well for some last-minute help, WhitePages launched a feature called Neighbors, which offers an aerial map of your area that shows household contact information, including first and last name, mailing address, associated household members and phone number to help neighbors more effectively get in touch.
