About Me  Member since: Oct-12-07 13:48:04 PDT Location: United States 49,637 views | The First Full Week of NeighborhoodsPosted Oct-19-07 15:46:29 PDT Hi everyone, The Neighborhoods team would like to start by thanking you all for a fantastic launch. We’re having a lot of fun and we hope you are too! We wanted to post some information about our first week and what we are seeing. In addition to this blog, we want you to check the Neighborhoods discussion board here… http://forums.ebay.com/db2/forum.jspa?forumID=2000000015. Here you will find responses to current questions, the results of the workshop, and other helpful information. We also want your suggestions for future functionality and what you would like to see. Give us your ideas and feedback by emailing the team directly at : neighborhoods@ebay.com Please also check out the complete list of Neighborhoods here: A-H … I-Q … R-Z … We are working on getting this list and Neighborhoods search more integrated for everyone, but in the short term, please reference these lists if you would like to see what’s available. Don’t forget, you can search for Neighborhoods from the main page at http://neighborhoods.ebay.com .
What happened this week? We had our first full week of activity. Traffic is growing rapidly, thousands of members are joining Neighborhoods each day, and we received thousands of suggestions for new Neighborhoods (and for ones we already have too). We also started to change the product based on your suggestions and have been improving it as well. We had some blips in some Neighborhoods based on the traffic of the discussions… we now have those under control, so thanks for you patience. The discussions have been great and relevant. We see a lot of buyers and sellers hanging out together and sharing their passions… just what this is for… everyone to have a good time sharing information with each other and discuss products and deals. You also seem to like your coffee and pets a lot. We do too. Members have been asking great questions about what they should buy, how things work, how to fix things, and how to get they can get their dogs to stop barking. On that note, there are some great discussions about everyday life and everyone is helping each other. eBay is alive and kicking and full of real people. You guys are what it’s all about! Keep it going! Here are few of the thousands…

Thanks again for a great start…keep the discussions and activity going. We will keep you updated regularly as new Neighborhoods and functionality is added. Our mission is to give you what you want and need to make Neighborhoods all it can be. And by the way, there may be a few secret Neighborhoods hidden out there. See if you can find them.
