2. Problem: America is a victim of individualism. Too much self-reliance, self-promoting. Communities are falling behind with the times. Goal: Develop a Social Network that focuses on a more localized scale and helps people within a community to connect together. Help individuals learn more about their community and its surrounding area. The name, HyperLocal, reflects our purpose of using the benefits and speed of the World Wide Web to establish neighborhood connections and bring them to the 21st century.

4. RISKS Integrating Technology HyperLocal intends to offer many services that require various uses of multimedia, maps, blog and communication tools, and so on. Some companies such as Google Inc provide a multitude of tools that can be integrated easily without any hardship. Cultural Sensitivity HyperLocal is targeted at small groups of geographically close people across the United States. User base for a target area will most likely be a homogenous mix of culturally or economically similar people and because of this we must be careful not to offend any community with certain features of the site. Generation Gaps Babyboomers (Born before 1960) may be skeptical of this idea. May find more appeal from Generation X and Y demographs. Privacy Issues
