eBay is getting ready to launch Neighborhoods, which is a new feature that aggregates the many micro-communities that are built around common interests. Neighborhoods should be officially launched later this week.
Neighborhoods is essentially a place for you to "socialize" with other eBay members, should you so desire. It pulls in a variety of content from other eBay sites, like listings, blogs, eBay Guides and Reviews, and also lets you post message boards, upload photos, social mapping tools, and other ways to connect with users. There are already over 600 neighborhoods formed around things like Beyonce, coffee, the Giants, and weddings. The best thing about Neighborhoods is the centralized manner in which you can find products related to the group type.
