Letting the Internet Knock on the Door Jared Nissim didn't know his [Neighbors] in his East Village [New York City] building, and it bugged him.  [So he started an effort ] that evolved [into ] his Web site MeetTheNeighbors.org, begun last month ... One person takes the initiative to register the building, pass out fliers and plan a get-together, enabling neighbors to create "real-life, in-person, face-to-face relationships." So far, about 500 people in more than 200 buildings have registered.  Mr. Nissim estimates that 80 percent of the participants are in New York City, though buildings (and neighborhoods) elsewhere are welcome to join. 9:21:06 PM    comment []
