After a lengthy blog sabbatical, we’re happy to be back with some exciting company news which further demostrates our commitment to being a socially responsible organization. The NeighborHuddle website is now 100% wind-powered! Since on site wind power is not an option for the NeighborHuddle’s servers, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are purchased to offset their energy usage. Through this change, NeighborHuddle is excited to help reduce the amount of energy required from fossil fuels for our services.
“We have been looking for a way to reduce our company’s impact on the environment and I’m thrilled to have found a partner who can help us achieve this goal.” – Kris Petersen, Founder of NeighborHuddle.com

DEVELOPERS AT NEIGHBORHUDDLE.COM VOLUNTEER TIME TO HELP BUILD WEST-COAST CHARITY WEBSITE DEVOTED TO SUSTAINABILTY AND CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION.
A non profit organization based in Los Angeles, CA has reached out to NeighborHuddle.com, a carbon neutral business and one of the fastest growing networks of condo and homeowners associations on the Internet, to help build the digital infrastructure for their charity platform.
Both organizations are committed to the active participation of community consciousness and global problem solving, so the joint project seems highly relevant. The California-based charity called The Banana Project was founded by Stacy Hanstad, a former NCAA collegiate basketball player, turned marathon runner, turned triathlete, turned philanthropist. Her basic mission for this project is to raise awareness and funding for an Orphanage in Guatemala, by taking a zero emissions bike trip from California to Central America. Stacy says, “I chose to reach out to NeighborHuddle.com because they are extremely dedicated and passionate about offering Internet tools for community participation and collaboration with a green philosophy.”

Gone are the days of the “information-only” condo website. By now, I’d be willing to bet there are tens of thousands of them sitting at the bottom of the Internet abyss just waiting to be updated and not seeing a visitor in years. They seemed like a good idea, but ultimately failed for not keeping up with the times.
Today’s community residents want more than just information from a website. They want to interact with their community and get value out of the time they spend online. At NeighborHuddle, we are constantly working to keep our services on the cutting edge of community websites. In the weeks ahead, we’ll be introducing three new features for our customers: contractor ratings/reviews, complete service request tracking from start to finish and text message reminders for assessment payments.
