New Uploading Schedule 2013 NEW TWITTER
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Do you wish you knew your neighbors better? A new website that is taking root in Jacksonville is offering exactly that.
Grove Park is one of 17 neighborhoods that is using a website called "NextDoor.com". It is a social networking site, but you can only interact with people inside your own neighborhood.
Ron Broom, who is a member of Grove Park's NextDoor, says about 35 homes in his neighborhood are now using it. Broom says his neighborhood has been using it to plan block parties, send out the occasional crime alert and post about lost pets.
"A good example was on Christmas Day. Our normal trash pickup would have been Christmas Day, so I was able to find out it would be the next day and you get that kind of information out and it really helps," says Broom.
But the biggest advantage he says is being able to meet more of his neighbors rather than just the people who live around him.
"With today, you know, we are scattered here and there and we can't communicate like we should. So for safety reasons, I thought NextDoor would be right for us," says Broom.
The website is free for neighborhoods to use and you can only access your neighborhood's page.

Social networking connecting communities
Keynote Systems, the expert in Internet and mobile cloud monitoring, monitors the top 10 UK social networking sites on a monthly basis and analyses how these sites perform compared to their competitors. By Robert Castley.
The social networking sites continued to perform well in November, with an average load time of 3.15 seconds and the top five sites averaging at 1.36 seconds an impressive response time. That said, only two of the social media websites took under a second and a half to load Facebook and LinkedIn, compared to four last month when Wayn and twitter also had load times of less than 1.5 seconds. You Tube UK also made an impressive jump this month to third place, from fifth place in October.
In terms of availability the chances of a website loading correctly when visited seven of the nine websites monitored had a higher than 99 percent success rate, compared to only six out of nine in October.
Particularly noteworthy this month was Facebook which featured at the top of the table for both its response time of 0.81 seconds, and availability, with a success rate of 99.92 percent. In November, Facebook has proven its ability to perform on both speed and reliability.
As social media becomes the go-to communication platform, its degree of influence on the online landscape is increasing. Now, not only users rely on the speediness and reliability of the social networks, but also many businesses, as social commerce is showing strong signs of growth.

Performance of social networking sites – Index from Keynote Systems for November 2012
Rusty Foster, 36, of Maine, said on Thursday that Facebook declared him dead, locked him out of his account and turned his personal page into a memorial page, ABC News reported.
"Facebook thinks I'm dead, Foster tweeted. Did you know that you can report any of your Facebook friends dead & Facebook will lock them out of their account with no evidence needed?"
It turns out Foster was the victim of an error on Facebooks "Memorialization Request" feature, which allows someone to declare a user dead by filling out a form and providing a link to an obituary of a person with the same name.
Foster, who is very much alive and well, told ABC that someone used the obituary for a man whose name was also Rusty Foster, except that man was born in 1924 and died in 2011.
According to Foster, he never received a notification that his account was locked and after filling out a form to report the error, received a message that read, We are very sorry to hear about your loss. After a Facebook account is memorialized, the user is removed from sidebars, timelines, friends' suggestions and search results. The account is locked to prevent further activity and hacking.
Foster told ABC that his Facebook account remained locked for another full day while his friends had fun with the Facebook dead prank online.
"The only thing that happened was some of my friends posted little mock-eulogies for me, because word got around that I was locked out, due to a temporary case of death," Foster told ABC.
His friends werent the only ones having fun with the new feature. Editors at Buzzfeed, ABC reported, had a blast with the Facebook dead prank, killing off each other after being alerted of the hoax.
According to the social networking site, the feature, which has been around since 2009, is to prevent people from seeing those who died in their newsfeeds and to prevent hacking into accounts of the dead.
"We have designed the memorialization process to be effective for grieving families and friends, while still providing precautions to protect against either erroneous or malicious efforts to memorialize the account of someone who is not deceased," a Facebook statement to ABC read. "We also provide an appeals process for the rare instances in which accounts are mistakenly reported or inadvertently memorialized."
