$100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway – White Pages Neighbors

white-pages-neighbors-block-party

White Pages Neighbors

Do you know your neighbors?  Are you friends with them?  We know a few of ours currently, but not quite as many as we did in our old neighborhood.  I am actively working on building friendly relationships with our neighbors, for several reasons.  Not only would it be fun to build a community in our cul-de-sac, but also for safety reasons.

I am happy to announce WhitePages Neighbors, a new free Block Party organizer and contact lookup product to help find the names and contact information for neighbors to promote neighborhood spirit, community partnerships and local safety.

RSVP Invite Card

Did you know that despite the fact that most American adults who have neighbors (93%) say it’s important for neighbors to look out for each other’s safety, a new survey conducted online in June 2011 by Harris Interactive on behalf of WhitePages found that more of them can identify most of their neighbors’ cars (47%) than most of their neighbors’ first names (41%) and that more of them (27%) know most of their neighbors’ pets more than most of their neighbors’ kids (24%).  This is sad but true – I can tell you the names of several of the neighbor’s pets (Muffy, Magnificat, etc. LOL), but I don’t know their owners very well!

National Night Out is coming up on August 2nd, which 37 million People participated in last year. In partnership with National Night Out, we’d like to help people plan even more block parties this year to help neighbors get to know each other (organize Neighborhood Watch programs, plan block parties, organize play dates, organize garage sales).

Because of my husband’s profession (a police officer), I know what an amazing program National Night Out is.  Every year, my husband attends the gatherings at various houses in his city.  This is a great program to go hand-in-hand with National Night Out!

The new Whitepages Neighbors product offers an aerial map of U.S. household contact information, including first and last name, mailing address, associated household members, and phone number to help neighbors more effectively get in touch. Going beyond making it easy to look up neighbors’ names and contact information, WhitePages has partnered with the National Night Out (NNO) to make it easy to plan a Block Party within a few clicks without having to worry about tracking down neighbor’s names and contact information by sending personalized postcard invites via the U.S. Postal Service for free. With the survey discovering that 34% of American adults who have neighbors do not feel comfortable asking their neighbors to keep an eye on their home when they go away, WhitePages and NNO hope people will use “Neighbors” Block Party invites to foster relationships that lead to effective neighborhood watch initiatives that promote local safety.

I think White Pages Neighbors is a really neat idea, and I cannot wait to get started.  One feature I really like is that you can claim and edit your own listing – I am big on privacy, so this is very important to me.

Remember: Sunday is the last day to get your Block Party invites out in time for a National Night Out Block Party on August 2nd!

What do you think?  Do you know your neighbors?  Does your neighborhood ever have block parties?

To celebrate White Pages neighbors, I have a fun giveaway below!

  8. i am very excited for white pages neighbors because i would love to get closer and come together as a community more and be able to share interesting things with the nice people who live around me! 😀

  14. I do think this is very cool! We used to have block parties but have not for the past few years and have had a lot of new people moving out and in. Id love to be able to use this feature! I feel weird not knowing people that are neighbors as that is not how we grew up.
    Id love to get a party started here in our neighborhood this August! Last time we did a huge Ice Cream social and it went over so great!

    thanks!

  21. I love the aerial map with the names and addresses of my neighbors. My neighbors don’t mingle much and it’s nice to put names with the homes!

  22. Great place to keep in touch with all the neighbors and in organizing any kind of project to keep the neighborhood safe. Love it.

    tamben7996(at)aol(dot)com

  122. This is great! I’d love to use this feature to help build a relationship with my neighbors.

  127. I’m excited about White Pages Neighbors, great way to meet our new neighbors. We live in a friendly community just everyone’s schedule is quite full we don’t get chance to meet and talk. A planned block party would be wonderful.

  166. I think this is great because I know several of my neighbors. We are friendly, but I don’t have their phone numbers to reach them in case of emergency. This would solve that problem.

  180. I’m excited because our family just moved to Colorado from Ohio and we don’t know many of our neighbors and this will make it easier to learn their names.

  190. This is a cool idea. Everyone here seems to stay to themselves so it would be a nice way to get to know everyone!

  193. In this day and age, you need to know who your neighbors are–I like the idea of being able to find out who lives near me–I am notorious for rescuing roaming pets and returning them safely home–this could be a really helpful tool.

  199. I live in a condo community-very close together and yet I only know my immediate next door neighbor and one other neighbor a few units away and that was only because of the animal connection.

  202. I’m excited about White Page Neighbors because it help me to know my neighbors!!

    1. This is not an entry I just wanted to let you know I cannot post about the giveaway on Facebook, it has you marked as spam! I filled out the error report

  228. I’m excited about getting to know my neighbors. I love the aerial map feature.

  235. We have a corner lot and see a lot of the people driving by, but this would be a great opportunity to organize some form of get-together so we could actually know each other. We’d definitely be waiting for much cooler weather, though. We’re in the Southern part of the US and it’s really hot right now. 🙂

    The concept definitely sounds interesting and I think it would foster more doing things together instead of being so disconnected.

  244. I haven’t met many of my neighbors so its nice to know their names, and even their phone numbers in case I need them.

  252. I’m really excited about having a block party — we’re close with our neighbors but we’ve never partied together!

  262. I am excited about white pages Neighbors because it will help me learn more about my neighbors.

    lkish77123 at gmail dot com

  266. I love this idea. I grew up in a close knit community and I would love to have the same thing for my kids.

  277. I’m excited to use this for a neighborhood gathering so we could all get to know one another better.

  280. I like to look at it and see where all of the people I know from my kids’ school lives! I didn’t realize either that some people from my church live over here! Way cool!

  283. I’m excited about White Page Neighbors because it would help me get to know my
    neighbors better than I do now.

  289. White Pages Neighbors would help me organize a block yard sale more easily.

  293. i’m excited for white house neighbors because we don’t have a neighborhood association or clubhouse, so we don’t see each other in activities, such a resource as this would be helpful getting to know people

  302. I can’t say enough about getting to know your neighbors. We not only know our neighbors well, but also know neighbors from the other streets in our neighborhood. We love living here where people are so friendly. Anything that gets people ready to meet their neighbors, I’m all for!

  313. I like this idea because we have some abandoned homes in our neighborhood and are always having to watch out for people who try to break into them! This would be a great tool for a neighborhood watch (if I could just get them to fix my home listing – because apparently the house I am currently typing this from does not exist! LOL!)

  320. Head over to Eighty MPH Mom where you can win a $100 Visa Gift Card! Boy could I use extra money at this time. Hope to win 🙂

  321. We live in a pretty bad neighborhood. You can smell pot smoke in the air if the wind is blowing just right. My husband is also a cop. I’m excited about White pages Neighbors so we can keep track of all the thugs as well as our nice neighbors in our hood.

  332. I’m excited about White Page Neighbors because I this could help me meet more of my neighbors.

  335. I am excited about the White Pages Neighbors because today neighbors do not see each other and communicate with each other like in the past. A neighborhood yard sale or block party would be a great idea to help build community

  344. I am excited because we have a bunch of new neighbors we don’t really know. It would be great to get the block together

  349. I am excited becasue I dont know many of my neighbors and this would be a great way to meet and greet!

  352. The White Pages Neighbors sounds like a great idea! I do know my neighbors and we’ve had a few neighborhoodish gatherings. This sounds like it would help in coordinating everything

  360. I think the idea of letting neighbors get to know each other through a block party is great, b/c it can actually make neighborhoods more safe as people will watch out for each other more

  363. I like i can find things even if i forget the name of the street the place is on

  367. i just moved and dont know any of my neighbors

  382. I follow Eighty MPH Mom on Google Friend Connect (GFC name is Just Coupons)

  419. I am excited about White Pages Neighbors because I just moved to a new place and I am ready to meet my neighbors! I live on a cul-de-sac which would be a perfect Block Party scene.

  422. I am excited about this because you could use it for so many things: finding out the names of new neighbors, finding out landlord names, help with sending cards/invites, and, in some unfortunate cases, reporting issues to the police! LOL

  445. I’m excited about Whitepages Neighbors because it’s an incredible tool for times of emergencies (we live in high fire danger area AND earthquake country!)

  447. I am excited about the new white pages because it will be easier to organize the community garage sale.

  495. I’m excited about White Pages because I really need to get to know my neighbors better, and vice versa. We have so many small kids that play outside here that it is a matter of safety to know your neighbors and have peace of mind that other’s are keeping an eye out for the kids, too.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  519. I am excited about White Page Neighborhoods because it would be an easy to learn some basic information about the neighbors whom I haven’t met yet. I also like that you can claim and edit your own listing, so you can give out just as much information as you feel comfortable with.

  520. I’m excited because it gives me an opportunity to know those who lives near me and make new friends.

  546. MANDATORY

    I am excited about White Pages Neighbors because it brings neighbors closer together while at the same time keeping your family safe

  550. I’m excited about the White Pages Neighbors because it’s a perfect way to break the anonymity of most neighborhoods, where people are friendly but don’t really take the time to get to know each other. Having a central way to access neighbors’ names and contacts would really be a big assist in organizing block-wide meetings and social events and hopefully lead to a greater sense of community as a result. I think it’s a terrific idea!

  593. I’m excited about White Page Neighbors because I only know several of my neighbors by their first names, and this displays their last names! Thanks for the chance to win!
    mrsmchappell at gmail dot com

  614. That is an excellent idea. It seems that most people are so busy with work, home and family that neighbors are almost like strangers.

  615. That is a good idea. It seems that most people are so busy with home, work and family that neighbors are almost strangers.

  618. Since I plan on moving soon, it would be an easy way to learn about my new neighbors.

  633. I am excited because we really don’t know our neighbors but would love to.

    Thanks!

  643. I am excited about WhitePages because I will be able to find long lost friends…

    mtdoonmeister at gmail dot com

  655. I am most excited for White Pages Neighbors because I welcome getting to know my neighbors better. We are a military family with no close friends/family members around. It would be nice to know more people that live close to us. This is a great feature.

    bakergurl02 (at) yahoo (dot) com

  677. I love the aerial view with the contact information
    pedidentalasst at yahoo dot com

  686. I only know the neighbors on each side of me so this would be great to find out more about my other neighbors.

  696. I am excited because I never knew all of their names and how many names pop up by me

  715. I’m excited because we just moved 35 minutes away and I’d love to get to know the neighborhood!

  736. Honestly I’m not that excited about it – I really like my privacy and I have enough friends and a handful of neighbors I choose to get to know. There are also many creepy people (it’s a large city I live in) including sex offenders, etc. – I really do NOT want to get to know them better.

  770. I love white page neighbors because it’s helps you keep in touch and track of friends and neighbors.

    msjem2001 at yahoo dot com

  784. I’m excited because maybe I can find some neighbors with kids my daughters age. Miss the neighborhood kids running around like when I was a child.

  801. I’m excited because even after 20 years of living here we don’t know all of our neighbors!

  811. It’s important to know your neighbors because you never know when you will need some help, and they are right there. Also they do keep an eye on the neighborhood, so good for security when you are away.

  816. It can help me get to know my neighbors that I don’tknow
    brittneydejajason at gmail dot com

  823. I am very excited about the white page neighbors, because it would actually let me get to know my neighbors. I live in a small subdivision and other then one neighbor, I do not know anyone here.

  827. Im excited b/c i think we should know our neighbors better. We need to get back to the “old times” 🙂

  842. I love that Wite pages helps me organize a block party, send invites and so much more.
    leaving me more time to plan the fun activities.

    ferriza2(at)yahoo(dot)com

  871. I like White Pages Neighbors because then it can help me remember the neighbors names after I end up forgetting them soon after we meet. I’m usually too embarrassed to ask them again.

  877. I’m excited because I think this would be a great way to meet some more neighbors

  884. It’ll be an easy way to track the block party planning we do each year in the neighborhood I work and live in.

  897. I’m excited because we are fairly new to the neighborhood and it’s a great way to learn about your neighbors.

  914. I too, like the safety aspect of White Pages Neighbors….the more people you know by name and interact with, the more likely that someone will help if you or any member of your family needs assistance.

  923. I’m excited because now I can send out Christmas cards to the neighbors. 🙂

  933. I’m excited about whitepages neighbors because it makes planning a neighborhood block party really easy.

  938. This is going to sound crazy, but I can’t help it. I just started working for Edible Arrangements and I was shocked to find out that they have to ask which neighbors it’s OK to leave a delivery with if the recipient isn’t home! What is this world coming to if a neighbor can’t accept a package for you?!

  950. I’m excited because I will know my neighbors! Followed you on twitter! (@EmmSimone)

  951. I have a few older neighbors who I would like to ask to watch my place when I go out of time and with whitepages it makes it easy to know their names and phone numbers
    tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com

  971. I’m excited about White Pages Neighbors because we’ve lived here for seven years now and still only know some of the neighbors “by look” and not by name. I’d like to be able to get to know some of them better and knowing names ahead of time will be nice. Katharina angelsandmusic[at]gmail[dot]com

    Lovefool827 (at) yahoo (dotcom)

  1020. I’m excited because I think it’s good people are trying to build a community- it has been sadly lacking recently.

  1021. White Pages Neighbors is exciting because people from all over the world come together on the internet. But this will help people be aware of each other on the net and then (hopefully) meet in real life. Neighbors can meet neighbors and that is always good. Thanks for the giveaway!

  1025. I’m excited about White Pages Neighbors because of the aerial maps of the neighborhoods.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  1037. Anything that will help in Neighborhood Watch is a plus!

    karinwade at ymail dot com

  1038. altho I live in an apt. now, this would be good for some relatives, who live far from neighbors, and don’t have a chance to meet them personally

  1043. like that we could get to know our neighbors better
    ardelong2(at)gmail(dot)com

  1051. I think White Pages Neighbors is a great way to meet and connect with your neighbors.

  1052. I love that I can find out who some of my neighbors are!

  1076. It’s a great resource for looking up and contacting new residents since our neighborhood has a high turnover rate and it’s hard to keep track of everyone! Thanks!

  1077. It would be a wonderful tool to help plan a neighborhood BBQ/Picnic, thanks!
