So I was sitting here, thinking...."What is someone responded to me on a comment I left?" I have left over 500 comments, it's hard to remember where I have left all of those little conversation starters. 
What is your objective in being a part of Active Rain? What is your plan to reach that objective? 
THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RUMORS AND UNTRUE INFORMATION CIRCULATING ABOUT EXIT REALTY. IM JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT OTHER AGENTS, BROKERS AND THOSE THAT ARE NOT EVEN IN REAL ESTATE THINK ABOUT OUR SYSTEM. I JUST WANT TO SHARE MY THOUGHT ON THE FACT OF OUR SYSTEM AND LET EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THAT … (19 comments)
The past few days have been so hectic but very productive. Ahhhh, the feeling of accomplishment....a job well done! Just like my voice-mail I check my e-mails just as often sometimes more! I have been playing in the blogosphere a little more than usual. 
How many times do you leave a comment on someone's blog and then go back later on to see if there was a reply? If you're like me, the answer is probably that you do this on a regular basis. When there are only a handful of comments, it's usually a … (28 comments)
I took Ralph Nudi's advise. I figured if it worked for him it could work for me. So I thought I would try it. All my children are grown & his son was so cute I wasn't sure what picture I would use. 
There has been much said about online presence, reputations and public perception. Now Google is taking NEWS into the realm of conversation. Some may even want the PR (whether positive or negative) and keep a story going. There are benefits for being in the news. 
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to stand in front of your office group and hold a sales meeting? Although you may think you have never had this experience - you probably have and just didn't know it.
I have only been selling real estate for one year, and by many standards I have been blessed. However, I have come to the conclusion (and my opinion may change in the future) that there is no magic formula to selling one's listings. Each situation is unique and presents its own … (2 comments)
Within ActiveRain we're awarded 25 points for each comment we make on someone's blog up to 10 comments a day, but what really drives me crazy is when you read what appears to be a comment just for the sake of the 25 points. Some examples are, thanks, thanks for sharing, … (10 comments)
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your blogs. Where are you all?!! That one last night from Rick & Ines's blog about the toilets being sold with the house, lids closed or not, was a riot. And then the patriotic article from Ralph Odierna - Ministers of the American dream. Fantastic articles. Easy to click … (4 comments)
When someone visits your blog regularly, and comments, you want to know WHO they are right? It's always good to know WHO is reading your stuff and WHO reads and comments, as well as recognize the 'regulars' that visit your BLOGS. I have regular blogs that I visit EVERY TIME I … (34 comments)
Alllllrighty then...
Obviously, my title could have two meanings. I could literally miss rain, otherwise known as precipitation. It is something that is seemingly unheard of here. What is rain?Or, I could miss Active Rain.Although I do miss both, I have to admit that the title is about the latter.I have managed to … (27 comments)
It has come to my attention today that non-users can comment on your blogs. The comment left on one of my blogs today was vulgar and insulting. Nice to know someone thinks that highly of me to leave a message and hide behind a fake name with profanity in it. I'm … (13 comments)
I want all of you who have commented on my technology challenges to know that I appreciate all of your feedback and support. Silly me...I can't seem to figure out how to respond to your comments when logged into AR...heeeelp...I'm truly not ignoring your responses so I figured I'd let you know … (5 comments)
Basically, comment tags allow you to point out specific items within your virtual tour. For instance, if there are granite countertops or silk curtains that you want to highlight, you can add comment tags that read “GRANITE COUNTERTOPS” and “SILK CURTAINS,” which point directly at the items. Click on the COMMENTS … (1 comments)
There's much that's been said about commenting on ActiveRain (and by much more knowledgable writers and bloggers than I). Both the right way and the wrong way have been discussed. It is true that you gain points by commenting. That's just the way it is on AR. And it seems that … (1 comments)
Alright, so you've made your calls and have talked to a real estate agent who referred you to a competent loan officer who is willing to take you on as a project. Cool! Did you get some of their business cards to pass out for them? If not, call them back … (0 comments)
I was talking with Colleen Kulikowski awhile back, and she was explaining to me why she had taken the time, to organize the Associates she had added. She said that by "grouping" your Associates, they will be easier to manage. So I did. Next, I thought, how can you utilize and benefit from the Associates … (114 comments)
Communication by email, blog comments and other electronic methods is difficult even in the best situation. Many of us have turned to email to communicate with our clients. I love email; I tend to work late into the evening and early in the morning. With email I never have to worry … (25 comments)
At 8:00 a.m. I'm walking. And, being a Type E, I can't do just one thing at a time, so I've been thinking about how to combine the walking with something I love to do – talking to other real estate professionals, especially mentoring new agents. Then I thought, is there … (28 comments)
Gosh, I hope this doesn't make me look very silly--BUT I've got to take the chance...what is the difference between CLICKS and VIEWS? Besides the meaning of each word. Under our "Home" page on AR, and then at "Stats," you can see how many COMMENTS, VIEWS or CLICKS you've received from folks who've … (9 comments)
Hi Everyone!
Kelly Turbeville's blog, Blog or Chat Room?, got me to thinking about not only what kind of animal AR is, but also why exactly I blog and why AR seems to speak to me when other blog sites don't always. And I think that it's because the unique nature of AR - … (9 comments)
Responding to the concerns about unregulated user generated comments on the internet, Agentopolis has changed its recommendation process to include a final step which allows the agent to review the recommendation and decide whether or not to publish the comments before anyone else sees it. Whenever a visitor posts a comment/recommendation … (0 comments)
We grow up with a feeling that we live in a land that is safe and secure and all of a sudden tragedies like the VA Tech. shooting occurs. It has happened in the past but I guess I have never been touched more than by the recent tragedy. My children … (3 comments)
Anyone with me? Sometimes, I don't care whether I receive points for a blog. Sometimes I just want to propose a question and hope to get real time feedback from a variety of folks, such as when I posted: Financial Advisement, ASAP please . I posted at 12:10. By 12:45 I was … (6 comments)
What do you have to do to get a blog post featured on the blog home page, or what do you have to do to get some more people reading and commenting on your blogs?
"OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT ..."
This past week we posted a mini-series of tips for new bloggers on the Zillow Blog. The series was fun to write -- we had leaders at Zillow blog about their area of internet expertise in the context of starting a business weblog. While there's a lot of advice for bloggers … (1 comments)
As we enter the second month in this year, 2007, we find that we have more buyer activity in the Boise Metro area of Idaho. Last year we had buyers coming to view homes but they had homes to sell somewhere else before they could purchase here. They were coming from … (1 comments)
I believe everyone knows about ebay and many of us have purchased something from this source too. But how many of us would take the plunge and purchase their next home from ebay? It's being done. In fact ebay has a new Market Research Area for buyers and seller to use.There's three … (4 comments)
Adjustable-rate loans,also known as variable-rate loans, usually offer a lower initial interest rate than fixed-rate loans. The interest rate fluctuates over the life of the loan based on market conditions, but the loan agreement generally sets maximum and minimum rates. When interest rates rise, generally so do your loan payments; and … (0 comments)
I'm already #4 in Calabasas with 548 points! And I only need to get a little over 1000 to be #1! That means that either I'll have to start writing longer blog posts, or you guys will have to start commenting more! LOL! … (20 comments)
That may sound like a stupid title, but unfortunately, it's the truth! I am the Communications and Marketing manager for the Johnson Team in Bellingham, WA and about a month ago our team owner, Rich Johnson, forwarded me an email saying that he had signed us up for Active Rain. I … (3 comments)
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)
All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: 1. On a Southwest flight (SW has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having … (2 comments)
Last night I was up late and spent some time on Active Rain to "clean up my space". Although I must admit, I did not get very far, I noticed that someone went on an old blog of mine and deleted their comment.
I was trying to figure out when the most active time on Active Rain is? It looks to me like during the day there isn't near the amount of blogs/comments, etc as there is say around 11 pm my time (eastern). I think when the Washington/Denver/California crowd gets off work it … (5 comments)
This was a comment in a post, but I realized it is a good blog too and I wanted to share with more of you...my blogging victims.
