So far, Lenn and I are the only 400,000 pointers in Dem Dare a lot of points Hall of Fame. I congratulated Lenn, the first member, and she congratulated me, the second member. And Neal Bloom founded the various x00,000 point clubs. I was fortunate to meet Neal at the first … (17 comments)

activerain: 500th Blog - 03/22/07 02:07 PM

Over the weekend I saw that my total blogs were at 499 and decided I should do something special for my 500th. Before I could do that, I saw 499 in one place and 502 in another, so put the idea aside. Then Tony Marriott e-mailed me, wondering what I was … (78 comments)

activerain: Kristal's back - 02/16/07 04:29 PM

Congratulations, Kristal, on getting back in #1 position on ActiveRain.
One of the nice things about the #1 position is that there is no monopoly on it - Kristal, Tony and I have all been playing with it, and Teri is still in the running, too.
Another nice thing is the … (4 comments)

activerain: Who Said Points Don't Count? - 02/13/07 07:49 AM

Yesterday we received a call from an out of area owner asking us about listing their luxury waterfront condominium here on Tierra Verde. The client found me on ActiveRain and commented that she didn't know what points were, but that I had thousands more than anyone else (obviously, for this area).
Did … (5 comments)

activerain: The Next Generation - 02/04/07 01:57 PM

Today I received a letter through ActiveRain from a client that I sold a home to in 1989, and for in 1993. His oldest daughter is now in St. Petersburg, preapproved, and ready to buy her first home, and he would like me to help her. It's always rewarding to work … (3 comments)

activerain: Suggestion for ActiveRain improvement - 01/21/07 07:24 AM

Since Matt is looking at several changes/improvements, I though I'd mention one I've wanted for a long time -
Read vs Not Read
Each day we have a different amount of time to read new blog postings, and each day there's a different volume of blogs posted, not to mention that some … (4 comments)

activerain: Groups vs Affiliates - 01/20/07 06:13 AM

Sam Miller, a fellow CyberStar®, asked me to explain the difference between Groups and Affiliates. I started to get long winded so decided to blog it, as other ActiveRain members may have the same question.
On the left side of your personal home page, there is a GROUP category and an AFFILIATE … (16 comments)

activerain: Lots of comments - what to do? - 12/10/06 11:12 AM

After reading a blog post that I like, I also like to read the comments - but with more participants, there just isn't enough time in the day. TLW commented once about people who make comments that may be duplicates, because they haven't read all the comments. Bryant's featured blog about … (15 comments)

activerain: NAR Convention News - 11/11/06 07:15 PM

The morning started with an 8 am meeting of ActiveRainers at the convention center. Matt and Jon were there from ActiveRain, and it was great to meet, talk and question them in person. Mary McKnight and Bill French were there, and decided they agreed on most things and as Bill said, … (10 comments)

activerain: Cyberprofessionals and ActiveRain - 11/09/06 11:26 AM

30 or so Cyberprofessionals are here in New Orleans for our semi-annual meeting. A highlight of this meeting is our 15 Minutes of Fame. Each of us has 15 minutes to present to the group our latest new ideas, new Cyber tools, out of the box marketing ideas, new niches, etc. … (3 comments)

activerain: My Comments - 11/05/06 05:31 AM

Did anyone else notice the new link on the left side of our MY HOME page? Just under My Blogs, is My Comments. Click on this and you'll see a list of all the comments you've made, including the title of the blog and the name of the blogger. Nice addition, … (2 comments)

activerain: Abbreviations - 11/04/06 07:23 AM

Whether we're writing ads or flyers or blogs, we shouldn't take the easy way out and use abbreviations. Do we want to buy a 3BR 2BA 2GA with FP or do we want to buy the home that has a glowing fireplace in the living room? Do we want to figure … (7 comments)

activerain: Blogs and Travellers - 10/14/06 01:39 PM

We've seen the increasing effect of real estate blogs and particularly ActiveRain blogs. A recent article in the St. Petersburg Times talked about the effect that bloggers are having on business travel and talked about the potential for bloggers to change entire industries.
Travel bloggers are telling the truth about overpriced airline … (3 comments)

activerain: Fast Company Blog - 10/06/06 06:54 AM

Fast Company is a great magazine to read for original and creative ideas, interesting business profiles, and getting out of the box. They also have a blog.
One of the things they say about blogs (and the blog isn't all about blogging) is that AUTHENTICITY is the key. Well, that's one … (2 comments)

activerain: What is it about Active Rain? - 10/06/06 06:41 AM

At the Leaders in Luxury conference we were talking about blogs (no surprise, it's permeating every sector of real estate). We know blogs are about search engines and blogs provide
BetterListingOnGoogle
and we know it's about a conversation, not a monologue. Many individual's blogs are monologues. Look how many ActiveRain members blog that … (4 comments)

activerain: Got Caught By a Bug Last Night - 10/03/06 05:12 AM

Early last evening I was commenting on blogs, and the world was typical ActiveRain. Then I stopped, as we had a client over for dinner, and was back to blogging between 10:45 and 12:15. Suddently to comment on a blog I had to put in my name and e-mail address. I … (2 comments)

activerain: Faster Access on Active Rain - 09/22/06 04:57 AM

Since ActiveRain has allowed up to post photos directly to their server for them to host, I'm sure their storage requirements have gone up significantly. When I've been out of town posting on my laptop, especially in the evening, time between clicks has been excrutiatingly long, despite my broadband access aircard.
Sometimes … (2 comments)

activerain: Blog Topic #4 - What's it to you? - 08/27/06 07:25 PM

ActiveRain has become a community and a family, though I was looking for neither.
ActiveRain has become a place to write, which I want to do, but have never made the time (AR made me do it).
ActiveRain is a place to share ideas, market conditions, theories, things to use and things to … (2 comments)
