How do you guys keep up with everything here on ActiveRain?

Industry Observer with No longer practicing real estate as of 2008.

I have been a member of ActiveRain for almost a year now, but wandered away for quite sometime before I came back here to start blogging again earlier this month.  I have to admit, when I came back....I was SHOCKED!  LOL...Shocked at how many members are here now compared to a year ago!  WOW!!!

My question is, how do you guys keep up with all the posts on here?  It's hard to read through them and keep up with the newer posts, as there are so many people blogging here now that the newer posts seem to fall quickly down the pages as more and more people post.  If you are gone out for a couple hours on appointments and check back later here, the posts that were new this morning are now on page 3,4,5.....depending on how many people have posted since you left. 

I like to read other people's blogs, but with so many people here now, it's hard to keep track of who is new and who is who.  I have bookmarked some blogs that I like already, but I just wonder how you guys go about keeping up with the new posts.  Do you just read your set of "normal blogs" that you are subscribed to, or do you really scroll through the pages and pages of newer posts each day?

There is a TON of information here, and I am surely grateful to the people that continue to blog here. 

Anyhow, glad to see this place has grown so much in the last year!

Becky, yes, ActiveRain has grown a lot in just the short time I've been here. It will get harder to read them all as it continues to grow. Welcome back.

Becky, I subcribe to blogs or track in associate groups - like I have you in my local professional associates so I can keep informed on what's happening in the area and get to know those professionals that would make good referral partners - loved the article on 5 great beaches article. Glad to be learning more about Anna Maria Island and  Bradenton.

Thanks for your comments guys!  This post was quickly shoved down the list just like I mentioned above, so if people don't go through the pages, they will miss several posts.....something could be pretty good too, that they miss out on reading. 

I think ActiveRain should consider another form of displaying the newer posts, so people have the chance to see them all.  Guess I should email them with my suggestion.

I think AR is just getting too large to see everyones post... Really, like Cyndee says you have to pay attention to what interest you most.  I subscribe to about a dozen members, surf the new post and a couple of groups.  Even the number of groups are getting out of hand.  Imagine if all 32000 members did one post today...we could never read them all in an year.
