"Fatdoor is a Community Network that allows you to get to know your neighbors.

It"s true these days that we don"t know our neighbors as we should; despite proximity, most people simply are too focused on their own home lives to really discern what"s going on in the neighborhood; Fatdoor gives you an option to get to know your neighbors better and you don"t even have to leave your house.

Does Fatdoor give away too many details about where you live to be attractive to those who like their privacy? Is it too transparent?
