I just got a sneak peak\u00a0of\u00a0\u00a0Metroproper (dead link removed) from founder Phil Tadros and Jason Pettus, a new Chicago-based web 2.0 interactive and social business network, voter based journalism and classifieds product that is launching this Saturday afternoon. This will roll out to other markets after a brief Chicago beta. There is a launch party with Motorola as event sponsor on Saturday evening at the Motorola Q store downtown.
\nSo what makes Metroproper\u00a0different?
\n– It combines elements of Craigslist, Linkedin, Myspace and Digg into a one stop shopping experience
\n– They have some unique, though as yet unproven, monetization ideas. It\u2019s good to see someone actually thinking about this issue before launching a site. I have a few monetization ideas of my own for their platform actually\u2026
\n– Though I didn\u2019t get to surf it, the pages look very clean and hopefully it will surf as good as it looks.<\/p>\n

Classifieds are a feature that figures prominently in the community.<\/p>\n

While there is considerable competition in this space, there is certainly room for improvement. If unmet customer needs are satisfied with a world-class customer experience, the world may in fact beat a path to\u00a0Metroproper’s door.<\/p>\n
Speaking of beating a path to their door, you should do just that. Phil\u00a0runs a coffee\u00a0shop on the north side of the city\u00a0called Dollop,\u00a0it is located at 4181 North Claredon, the venture capital lines are open at 773.755.1955 – the\u00a0wireless Internet is free,\u00a0they are open late and Hoosier Mama Pies<\/a> are quite tasty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just got a sneak peak\u00a0of\u00a0\u00a0Metroproper (dead link removed) from founder Phil Tadros and Jason Pettus, a new Chicago-based web 2.0 interactive and social business network, voter based journalism and classifieds product that is launching this Saturday afternoon.
