Top 5 Picks on ActiveRain, according to Jark

My favorite few articles on Active Rain over the last week or so.  I like to give credit where it's due:

Top Picks this WeekWhere do you get Your News?
Mirela, thanks for sharing the great links for news.  I appreciate the transparency this community offers.  It's great not just to share our opinions but share the sources of these opinions, and bounces ideas off in an open community like this one.   Doing these things, our professions gain credibility and trust from the communities around us.  I'm looking forward to reading more from you and everyone else in this great group and others.  Jark.

3 Critical Reasons Contributing to High Rental Vacancies
Nathan, thanks for the article.  I think you've addressed an important weak link in the system right now.  People are working with people, and the second landlords acknowledge that good and happy tenants are intricate to a healthy business plan of passive income, they gain an advantage over all those who have no understand of that mutual dependency.  Cheers and thanks again.  Jark.

Is Craigslist Our Freakin Business?
Jon, thanks for sharing.  I think it's still a great deal compared to print papers.  We can follow it like an economic formula: 1. users of the site can get upset and get off for a while, then 2. those who post will notice there is a higher success rate because there is less "competition" on the site, and then 3. those who originally left will very quickly come back because they want to tap into the market which (because of a MEESLY 25 bucks) they've been missing out on.  In the end it all comes to a calculated cost which we've come to "expect" to be free which, let's face it, was and still IS indeed very valuable to us as professionals.  Cheers, Jark.

With you every step of the way!
Laura, thanks for the great article.  I think this is one of my favorites posts this week so far, as it talks about what we offer our clients from a standpoint of heart and caring and professionalism -- all equally balanced and honest.

LAUGH OF THE DAY: A Lazy Salesman?
Aaron, thanks for sharing.  I just forwarded this to a few sales-people I know who I'm sure will be happy to share this one with their clients.  How appropriate!  Cheers.

I find recaps of articles very interesting.  And, if you can keep it up, this would be interesting.  I just started on the Rain the end of September and am always looking for interesting articles.  Thanks.
