NeighborsGo.com officially launches

By Cory Bergman 

I posted a blurb about NeighborsGo when it went into initial beta a couple weeks ago, and now it has officially launched. The site is run by Belo’s Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV, and it blends hyperlocal citizen journalism with a social network. “Our goal, essentially, is to become a very local and very newsy version of MySpace,” said Oscar Martinez, managing editor of the site. One look at the promotional video for NeighborsGo and you’ll realize that it’s not targeted to the MySpace demographic. Users can upload stories, blog posts, video and photos, and some of the content will be reverse-published into weekly community newspaper editions of the same name. (Full disclosure: I work for Belo in Seattle, the same company that launched NeighborsGo.)
