The Internet is going virtual neighborhood now.

Except it’s real neighborhood, too. Websites, like Nextdoor, are allowing real-life neighbors to connect on a private social site. New neighbors can join whenever. All of them can chat about the summer block party, the crummy weather, and the loud-butt garbage trucks that bang like Satan’s drum kit at five in the morning… except online.

They can also learn that each other exist, which is especially important in dense urban settings.

People are a vital part of any move.

Whether they’re the people who help you, the people you meet, the people you need to care for, or the people you just need, your move will be filled with people.

And social media is catching on. Social moving is real on the Internet. Twitter is firing with moving laments each day, Facebook lets people share their moving experiences, and Quora and Yahoo! Answers are filled with moving questions and answers. Of course, all of that is so… 2008.

Now there are some newcomers trying to connect people to their neighbors. Websites like Nextdoor and Neighbortree are creating online communities for real-life ones, where neighbors can communicate where once they might never have known each other existed. And they’re great for social moving, where movers can connect to neighbors immediately.
