About Us

i-Neighbors is a social networking service that connects residents of geographic neighborhoods. The goal of this site is to help individuals and their communities organize, share information, and work together to address local problems.

i-Neighbors was first launched in 2004. The site now serves thousands of neighborhoods across the United States and Canada.

i-Neighbors is part of an ongoing research project directed by Prof. Keith Hampton at the Annenberg School for Communication, The University of Pennsylvania. This work has benefited from the support of the National Science Foundation, L-Soft, Microsoft Research, and a Google Grant.
