What is Huddler?
We can all use the help of our peers in making buying decisions or learning how to better use what we already own, but it's important to connect with the right people. Huddler's Green Home is the place for passionate, eco-friendly consumers to come together, learn from one another, and share their knowledge with the world. Do you:
- Know how to maximize the fuel efficiency of your Prius?
- Maintain a killer compost and have some secrets to share?
- Have a PV array installed and understand the ins/outs?
- Want to share what you know and talk to other people with similar passions?
Huddler is for you. All you need is a username and email address and you're on your way. Continue reading to learn more about our unique approach that integrates Discussion Forums, Wikis, Product Reviews, Detailed User Profiling and more to provide the deepest product resources online.
Tell the World About Yourself
Your user page is the place to share a bit about who you are, why you're passionate about sustainability, and why you've chosen to join the Huddle. Add your picture to make it personal, and then fill in your Product Profile.
Product Profile
Your Product Profile is a perfect place to showcase what you're doing to be eco-conscious. If you've got a greywater system or compact fluorescent light bulbs, shout it from the mountain tops! Once you add products, other Huddlers can see what you have in common (e.g. stuff you own and stuff you want) and you'll be able to see what other like-minded Huddlers have that you may be interested in.
Your Huddle, Your Data
As a Huddler member, you can do so much more than just read about products. You can:
- Modify product descriptions and specs
- Upload your own pictures
- Edit in page wikis on topics like Troubleshooting, How-to's, Related Products, and anything else you want to share
- Claim ownership of the product (or wanter-ship)
- Subscribe to the product to ensure you're notified of updates
- And of course...
Write a Review
Think your electric scooter is the cat's meow? Find a flaw with your showerhead? Let others know! Rate your product on a variety of criteria, talk about the pros and cons, and help other Huddlers with your experiences.
Collaborate with Wikis
Want to create the definitive buying guide for water heaters? Know how to make the best compost? Even if you do, chances are the Huddle as a whole knows more than you as an individual. You can start a wiki or add to one that others are working on. Add text, pictures, videos, then tag it to make sure others can easily find it. You may just earn you the honor of being a Top Contributor or have your wiki featured on Huddler.com.
Jump into the Forums
Wikis are great when there is one version of the truth, but sometimes a lively discussion is more appropriate – that's when you enter the Discussion Forums. You can debate the merits of the newest green technologies, ask your fellow Huddlers questions, share breaking eco-news, or just shoot the breeze about whatever else interests you.
Make Your Homepage Your Own
With forums, wikis, product reviews, detailed user profiles and more, how do you keep track of what you actually care about?
When you come across a user, product, wiki, or discussion thread that interests you, click the "Subscribe" button and any updates will be displayed on your home page each time you log in. Even more, we'll make our best recommendations for other stuff you might want to check out. We'll even deliver it all to you via email if you so choose. Like everything else at Huddler, it's all about you.
