Metroproper, a Chicago-based startup founded by Phil Tadros, will soon be launching into the public beta, after a period of private beta testing. Phil is a guy who I knew in a previous life, and who has become a successful entrepreneur in the time since I last saw him. Metroproper is a social network for business or personal profiles, with citizen journalism in cities around the world. It combines the best elements of craigslist, LinkedIn, Myspace, and Digg, without a lot of the unnecessary fluff that goes with these other sites. The common currency of the community is “props”, which can be given to cities, people, and businesses.
Get on over to Metroproper now, and sign up for the public Beta.
