50 Top Resources for Power Networking

Congratulations Active Rain!!!

Yesterday I picked up my first copy of Website magazine delivered to my home. On page 16, there is an article entitled 50 Top Resources for Power Networking.This lists all the social network sites. Of course, the Top 3 are Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

I was shocked, however, to discover that ACTIVE RAIN was #11!! That is so awesome! Consider that this magazine is NOT marketed to the real estate community and has no real estate articles in it.

I'm really proud to be a member of this community and wanted everyone to know how powerful it really is. Congratulations to Active Rain and staff!

Joan, I'm sure it would be #1 for real estate related social networking, but for general social networking, it blows me away that we're #11 on a list where the general public goes to power network.

I'm guessing the reason is that there is such great content and reliable information here.

Lynda, Thanks for sharing this. It's pretty exciting and I had no idea we were mentioned in the magazine. #11 ain't so bad. ;)

Good article. Now I need to run to Borders or B&N and find me a copy of that magazine.

I thought it was cool they delivered a magazine to my home for free.

Thanks for the info on the book. ActiveRain has lots of benefits, some we (or at least I) have not fully appreciated.

Me either, Wayne...I may just become a Rainmaker yet!
