Hey, guess what? BlockChalk for iPhone is now available in the App Store!


For those of you who are new to BlockChalk, we’re a location-based messaging service for your neighborhood. You can leave messages (“chalks”) on your block, your street, at the coffee shop, or anywhere you happen to be. Other BlockChalk users nearby can reply to you publicly or privately.

People are already chalking for all sorts of reasons: to share honest opinions and observations about their neighborhood, to praise or gripe about local businesses, to borrow and trade with their neighbors, to complain about city services, and much more. And people are using BlockChalk all over the world, with activity in over 90 countries, 6600 cities, and 10,000 neighborhoods!

Our new iPhone app lets you set your “home neighborhood” so you can keep up-to-date with the latest chalks near home. It also adds support for Apple’s push notifications. This means you can now be notified when there are new chalks in your home neighborhood or when someone replies to something you’ve written.

And don’t forget you can also use BlockChalk on Android and iPhone simply by pointing your phone’s browser to http://blockchalk.com. There’s also an excellent app for the Palm Pre and Pixi.

Now get out there and chalk up your neighborhood!
