THE BATSON TEAM – FROM OUR VIEWPOINT By Al and Jean Batson

hat is NEXTDOOR? NEXTDOOR is a social networking service for individual neighborhoods whose mission is to use technology to help neighbors build stronger and safer neighborhoods. It was founded in 2008 and launched in the United States in October 2011. NEXTDOOR’S distinguishing feature is that users use their real names and neighborhood, NEXTDOOR goes to greater lengths than typical social media sites to ensure that user names and locations are true. Posts are not seen by the general public; only users who actually reside in that geographic neighborhood. We belong to NEXTDOOR DESERT RIDGE and find it very useful for everything from neighborhood information provided by the local police department to asking neighbors for recommendations for everything from plumbers to where to purchase items. In fact, we just responded to a request for a plumber. There are a few courtesy rules: • It’s not there to provide a platform for political viewpoints or sell your business (That’s the interest) northtatumtimes.com
• Use your real name (your personal address does not show up) • Report safety concerns to the police but feel free to warn neighbors – for example, if you’ve spotted someone suspicious, notify the police and then mention in on NEXTDOOR to warn yours neighbors to keep an alert eye.

• Post requests for help – ask for recommendations for a handyman, or anything else you need. We’ve seen young mothers form groups within the neighborhood. Or BUNCO groups formed. The opportunities are endless. • Don’t post anything personal about your neighbors – work it out in person. • It’s a great venue to post items for sale (or free such as used moving boxes). You know that people who respond are in the neighborhood. For more information, go to the website to find your neighborhood., or start one, go to: nextdoor. com/find-neighborhood Note that there is a very active Nextdoor Desert Ridge…ask your neighbors to invite you – or ask us. It’s very informative. We love to hear from you – and feel free to ask a question: Jean@AlandJeanBatson.com
