• iNeighbors - Unlike other websites that allow global, national, or city-wide communication, I-Neighbors links members of a single neighborhood, defined by the people that create them. I-neighbors is run by a team of faculty and students at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. I-neighbors was designed to encourage neighborhood participation and to help people form local social ties. We believe that the Internet can help people connect to their local communities and to create neighborhoods that are safer, better informed, more trusting, and better equipped to deal with local issues. I-neighbors helps communities build "neighborhood social capital" by providing a place for neighbors to find each other, share information and work together to solve local problems.

• Neighbor Ring - Try a Neighbor Ring fundraiser for your favorite association. http://www.neighborring.org 's mission is to revive the community of yesterday by helping neighbors share. Their technology combines all of the above ideas in one safer online environment that protects privacy and creates a local marketplace for sharing everything from life experience to lawnmowers... bringing people together in real life.

Best of all, they donate signup proceeds to the sponsoring organization, perhaps just the neighborhood council.
