Hello Built In Chicago -

My name is Kimberly Walker and I am Co-Founder of zipdeeloo.com. zipdeeloo is the first proximity-based site focused on conneting people within the same area to gain benefits that are directly associated with living near eachother. Think of it as LinkedIn and Craigslist for your zip code. Here's a little more information about us:

Chicago, IL  (PRWEB) July 11, 2012--- zipdeeloo.com creates convenience and benefits for members living in the same area. This new national website wants members to use local resources and neighbors to make everyday life easier.

Through shared calendars, a marketplace, discussion forums and networking capabilities, members can organize car pools, kids activities, ride shares, exchange professional services, borrow/trade items and reach out to neighbors for help and resources. “zipdeeloo is all about convenience.” Co-founder Kimberly Walker said. “We realized the benefit of creating a virtual community that helps you do more than interact with your neighbors. zipdeeloo isn’t just about social networking, it’s about saving time, money and being able to exchange valuable information as a result of your location.”

A feature of zipdeeloo is zipt. zipt allows members to create highly personalized groups based on relationships, organizations or events. “We love zipt,” Co-founder Elizabeth Patano-Jaworek said. “Finally, a way to not to send or receive 35 separate e-mails about the next condo association meeting.” zipt allows users to invite established connections and friends in their community to share specific information, discussions, calendars and albums.

Walker and Patano-Jaworek, founders of Sitterworks.com, entrepreneurs and parents saw an opportunity to create a social community that currently does not exist on the web. “With social media, people are connecting thousands of miles away,” Walker said.  “That’s great, but these people aren’t going to loan you a tool, or give you their sitter’s name when you need it. zipdeeloo wants to make life easier.”

People interested in joining zipdeeloo are encouraged to pre-register at signup.zipdeeloo.com. zipdeeloo is scheduled for a fall launch.

zipdeeloo was founded in 2012 and is a proximity-based social media site and mobile application that creates everyday value by allowing members in the same zip code to connect,

Let us know any feedback and we hope to connect with anyone that may be able to help us get this site off the ground!

Kimberly
