Happy puppy at Active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Alain Pinel BRE 01367196

Having some downtime reading blogs on Active Rain.

BAM! It hit me. It's been over a year since I started blogging on Active Rain! I started in March 2008, and my first blog was about my Blackberry Curve. Ha! I have truly evolved. I have an iPhone now.

And still evolving....made it as number 1 Active Rain blogger in Alameda AND Alameda County, CA.

This has been, and continues to be an outstanding source of good information, tips, advice, etc. not only for real estate, but for other things as well. Have to keep visiting the Active Rain HELP/FAQ at the bottom of the screen for more good tips.

The camaraderie online is exceptional. Wish I knew about an Active Rainers gathering in the Bay area --- I'd love to pop in.

Recounting how many actual leads and escrows I've closed as a result of being on Active Rain, and how much I am learning, this is a great place to be.

I've invited other agents to join in. Hope they're reaping the benefits of being here.

For all the good people who provided good information as well as great entertainment --- THANK YOU! It's truly a wonderful place to be. I'm a happy puppy! (Oh, okay, OLD dog....)

Pacita - Happy belated anniversary.  You're one of the people I have enjoyed reading and getting to know a little better here on the rain.  You're a good blogger and I have really enjoyed many of your posts for the wonderful info you provide.  Keep on blogging Pacita.

Cute puppy too.!

Ok Pacita ~ I have to ask - now that you've used both the Blackberry and the iPhone - how do they compare for use in real estate?  I'm strongly considering swtiching from my Palm and would love to hear your thoughts.

Christine --- thanks....it's really quite a ride being here.

Wanda --- thanks. May we all live long and prosper.

Donne --- and you are an absolute sweetheart!

Elizabeth --- I loved my Blackberry...but it can't compare with how much I love my iphone. Granted that typing without a tactile sensation of typing on a QWERTY keyboard was quite a change. But what I gained by having iPhone....PRICELESS. Check out these groups and see for yourself what folks say:

Good job Pacita, I am glad to have met you in person and pleased to know that you are right at the top of the board in Alameda County, I have read several of your blogs and learned a few things here and there from that. I am on my way to a year... This is a great place to hang out. I am with you, I want to be in person at an Active Rainers Gathering... maybe we ought to organize it!... perhaps with a Salsa class! what do you think?
