Global Neighborhood Watch

Global Neighborhood Watch is an article by Neal Stephenson that appeared in Wired Magazine in 1998. In it he proposes a specific plan for using information technology to fight crime. He is no longer pursuing the idea. The following is an excerpt from his FAQ:
>Neal, I read your piece in WIRED about Global Neighborhood Watch and I think it sucks/I think it's a great idea/I want to get involved in it.
The Global Neighborhood Watch piece is now very very very old. It is a demonstration of one of the chief drawbacks of the Internet, namely, that nothing ages there, and so people who stumble across ancient documents have no way of knowing that they are long out of date. From time to time, someone will happen upon that article, or it will get mentioned in a newsgroup, and I'll get a flurry of messages about it.
Nothing is happening with Global Neighborhood Watch. Nothing ever did, and in all likelihood, nothing ever will.
