How it works? A neighbor is anyone you're connected within a community, and a community is not just someone who lives nearby, it could be your Football Team, Medical Majors, Apartment Community, Pickleball Club, Dance Community, whatever.. Step #1 Create a Hangout Request that your 'neighbors' can see. Step #2 Some neighbors upvote on the Hangout Request, most popular ones get propagated to the top of the list. Step #3 Any neighbor who likes organizing things, takes one of the most popular Hangout Requests, and creates an actual Hangout Event out of it, knowing that a bunch of people will attend, because people really liked the idea. Result? No one got rejected from asking people to hangout, and event organizers didn't have to figure out what people wanted to do, it all happened organically! Why it works? The Problem If you knocked on a neighbors door 50 years ago, they might invite you in, ask if you want some cake or tea, ask how your day has been.. But if you knocked on someone's door today, you might see a gun! We believe the culprit for this is an unintended side effect of social media, people today would rather look at someone's profile feed, who might not even live near them, rather than knock on their neighbors door. What has happened is, because people are so used to visiting "social profiles", they don't bother to knock on their neighbors door. Hence when a neighbor does knock, it's suspicious.. And this is a sad state of the world today. It's a deterioration of communities, it's a deterioration of the natural social fabric that God designed, and currently exists in heaven. We know that Jesus is not happy with this, He likes communities, He likes it when people are social and spend time together in families and communities and are connected across groups. Solution? Before we do that, it's important to consider the system that led to this "social media" that leads people away from being actually social, in person. In short, it's because all of these "social media" companies are based on ad-revenue. And if you consider what this means, is says that these companies measure success for their apps based on how much they can keep a user on the app, looking at ad's, because the more they look, the more ad-revenue. And hence as a company you would be incentivized to create features that would try to satisfy that success criteria. But then if you changed this success criteria, and you said instead "how much can we keep people off their phones, interacting with each other offline"? Then you would try to create functionality that would try to satisfy a different goal. Neighbors features maximizes this different goal, and measures it by; (# of users)×(# of hours of hangout)**×(average hangout rating).
