Social Networking . . . We have it covered!

From Shena's Desk:

Connecting is so easy these days . . . with all of the social networking tools out there--from Facebook and LinkedIn to twittering and all the other social networking tools I do not use . . . If one has a computer, one can "travel!"

Personally, I've always been a social person (extrovert, high-sapphire) and this form of networking--especially while I am in my mid-thirties and in the throws of my career and personal/family growth--is extremely exciting, interesting, and useful to me. (Not to mention my days as a Communication Arts student at Wartburg College fuel this dabbling in social media.)

In lieu of social networking here at the Red Canary, we have created several exciting ways for you to connect with Red Canary. Check it out! Join a group, become a fan, or follow our Twitter!

On Facebook: We have two groups: Our most popular: Red Canary Painted my House. Professional Group: The official Red Canary LLC group. (Search for either in Facebook Groups.) Additionally, we have an official Red Canary LLC Business Listing--look for it on your friends' pages. Our Greenpainters group is also featured on Facebook.

On LinkedIn: We have two groups: Our most popular: Red Canary Painted my House and the official Red Canary LLC group (both sites cross-post). In addition, our Greenpainters group is also featured on LinkedIn. (These groups are professional mirrors the Facebook groups.)

On Twitter: Tweet! Tweet! Yes, Twittering. Red Canary just became a Twitterer on May 1, 2009! Here, I'll be posting tidbits and sidebars, things I'm doing personally and so forth . . . follow our Twitter! (Our Twitter feeds are also posted via live-feed at the bottom of this blog.)

Well, connect, connect, connect! With so many ways, it's easy to connect and stay in touch--personally and professionally. In conclusion regarding Red Canary's social networking, check out our groups, get useful tips, ask us questions, see what others are saying and what I'm doing day to day on Twitter . . . all from the convenience of your desk . . . or coffee house . . . or work . . . or wherever! With our heads spinning with ways to connect plugged-in style, the next time you're on one of the above networking groups, look for one of ours!

Take care. Peace and love, my friends . . . Shena

Spring Fever

With the coming of Spring also brings the longing for newness . . . which is why many people begin thinking about painting in the spring. Once the snow melts, the toll on the exterior is evident after yet another winter; after staring at the same walls all winter long, it's time to brighten the room with a new color.

Here at Red Canary, we're not any different and have been longing for Spring ourselves. Our way of brightening things while having a bit of "spring fever" was to give a fresh look to our website. We were tired of staring at the same template all winter long.

Go to redcanary.biz to see the new template . . . .if you have any comments, feel free to email us your thoughts at redcanarypainting@gmail.com . . . and remember: Think Spring!
