Neighbourhoods

This looks interesting, but can we spell it right?

Awareness Networks builds, hosts, and deploys integrated E2.0 suites for an impressive roster of customers ... When they described how neighborhoods work within Awareness, I think I said "Great idea!" out loud.

Each Awareness installation is called a ‘community,’ and each community can contain multiple neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are simply ways to categorize the content that gets contributed over time, and are defined in advance by the people who commissioned the site. Since these people are usually the bosses of the company (or are at least acting on their behalf) neighborhoods tend to reflect the formal organizational structure or goals of the company, or some combination of the two.
