????托利亞稱，公司原以為用戶群年齡會偏大，因為家里有適齡學童的業主可能對本地的事情最感興趣，但事實上它的用戶群年齡跨度很廣。“人口結構在一定程度上影響著內容類型和使用情況，但沒有哪個人群被排除在外。美國佛羅里達州某些社區的居民大多是老年人，所以當地用戶聊得最多的是醫療保健等問題。而美國舊金山Marina區的用戶談得最多的則是聚會和約會。即使有些人沒打算在某個社區住一輩子，但他們住在該社區期間，仍然會當地的事情感興趣……我們“被刪除”的帳號通常是用戶搬到了新的社區，然后注冊加入了當地的社區群組。”

????Nextdoor目前尚未盈利，而是專注于在初期擴大規模 (當年Twitter也是這么做的，Facebook在一定程度上也是這么做的)。不過這家公司預計有諸多商機，包括本地廣告以及住宅安保公司的全國性推廣活動。此外，它還計劃將進軍國際市場，而加拿大將成為首個海外市場。（財富中文網）

????Tolia says that the company originally had assumed that the user base would skew older, given that homeowners with school-age children may be most interested in local events, but he says that the demographics have been far more diverse. "The content type and use cases are partially driven by demographics, but no demograpghic is excluded. Certain neighborhoods in Florida are dominated by senior citizens, so the conversation is about things like healthcare. In San Francisco's Marina District, it's more about parties and dating. Even if someone doesn't plan to live in a neighborhood for their entire lives, that doesn't mean they aren't interested while they live there... And most of our 'deleted' accounts are actually just people who have moved to a new neighborhood and signed up for that network."

????Nextdoor is not yet generating revenue, instead choosing to focus on scale in its early days (as did Twitter and, to a lesser extent, Facebook). But it expects there to be plenty of opportunities, including local advertising and national pushes from such merchants as home security companies. It also expects to expand internationally, with Canada to be its first non-U.S. market.
