One way to think about rBlock is that we provide neighbors in the community with the ability to pursue a "local strategy" to better themselves economically and socially. Two professors at Harvard explain why All Strategy Is Local in the September 2005 issue of Harvard Business Review. So whether it's the....
- neighbor who can't share information with anyone on their block;
- resident who can't share information with other residents in their city;
- seniors who can't find rides for errands;
- new parents who can't find other new parents nearby;
- local biz owners who can only compete on efficiency and not strategy (which is bad news since local businesses are less efficient due to their limited scale);
- councilmembers and city staff who can't share information with their constituencies;
- local police who no longer benefit from community feedback;
- emergency services who struggle to raise community awareness;
...all of them will soon be able share information interactively, without targeting anyone individually.
