Echo

Hello Product Hunters! We built Echo from a simple idea that came to me while living in Los Angeles. I would hear sirens outside at least a few times a day, but had no idea what was happening. Searching on Twitter hardly ever produced anything relevant and I didn't know any of my neighbors. On top of that, I saw a lot of flyers posted on light poles. Flyers that are asking for help in one way or another. Missing pets, garage sales, stolen items, etc. We live in a digital age where 100s of millions of pictures and messages are exchanged and shared with followers and strangers, yet there is no easy way to communicate with our near by community. It turns out 29% of Americans know only a few of their neighbors and 28% know none of their neighbors by name. With Echo we are giving people a simple way to join local conversations. Each post has a radius and only those inside the radius can view it. If you like a post, swipe up to echo it and spread it further by increasing it's radius! Happy Echoing everyone, and let's help each other!
