As time goes by it's amazing to see the friendships that develop, and are enhanced here on ActiveRain. People that wouldn't know each other, or would only be in contact rarely are able to keep in touch here on a daily basis. I know for me personally I find it heartening just to observe the friendships of others grow. I've developed an affinity for many of you, even if I don't talk to you much. It seems as though, through the blogs, a character is definitely seen. Perhaps that might be different from an experience in the real world, perhaps that doesn't matter. If there's one thing I look forward to every day it's that shared experience that I see coming through as members interact. I see the relationships developing and I can also, through that, see how business relationships can be formed and strengthened.
It's pretty clear to me now that should a client ask for a referral to another professional, I've seen enough through your blogs to know that I can confidently my clients to you. Points or not it's the personality that comes through in the quality and character of your posts and comments that tells me I'd like to work with you. It's in how you treat others and how you treat your own work and the tone of your conversations that you put into ActiveRain that helps me see where I might send a referral.
So whether you're utilizing ActiveRain as purely a business tool, or more as a personal tool, I'd like to hear from you about your relationships on ActiveRain. What's your take?
