Social media consumes a great deal of many peoples’ time, and location-based social networks like Foursquare and Yelp continue to grow increasingly popular.  LocalBlox is a different sort of location-based network.  It puts its own unique spin on social media that its creator describes as a “national hyperlocal neighborhood service.” It combines elements of various other sites such as Foursquare, Groupon, and, of course, Facebook, to create neighborhood-specific social networks.  It gives users a full view of their neighborhood including maps, local business directories, hyper-local news, events, photos, job listings, neighborhood alerts, neighborhood user profiles, and chat.  Unlike competitors, its community-building concept works to connect neighbors, small business and active community members, bloggers, and realtors.  LocalBlox also gives small local businesses a variety of integrated local social media and mobile digital media tools.

What really sets LocalBlox apart is, of course, that it focuses so narrowly on specific neighborhoods.  Consumers can find things locally and engage in social dynamics, and you do not need to miss anything due to a need for computer support for your desktop since you can access the site through either its web or mobile platforms. LocalBlox offers an enriched user experiences for neighbors by creating a hyperlocal community experience with a neighborhood wall, neighbors’ profiles, neighborhood business service directories, local reviews, local jobs services, events, community connections, and just about anything you could want to know.  LocalBlox also offers free online advertisements as well as other options for mobile ads and social media packages to neighborhood businesses.  It serves as a place for localized social networking that could prove very useful to any local business looking to gain the attention of those who live nearby before branching out.

LocalBlox is like a home network service for neighborhood and neighborhood businesses, and people do not need to go to many different sources to find information about their neighborhood.  It organizes and updates neighborhood information in real time so users get updated news, neighborhood alerts, events, and messages from neighbors. When it comes to finding a local business or service provider, users can see the organized view, real-time scores for that business based on online reviews, directory ratings and social media activities. LocalBlox also has a unique rewards system that provides users with merit points redeemable by local merchants in the form of deals and discounts. This applies not only to individual users, but local merchants also earn recognition for good reviews and community participation. The platform integrates with social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and any other that a user connects with and allows neighbors to share via other social sites.  It is easy to see how LocalBlox can help individuals connect locally and build a bridge between neighbors and their local communities.
