Hey Active Rainer's....who is your favorite person to read and why?  I have subscribed to a select few people to read.  Here are my criteria....

1)  Good balance between personal and business...in other words not shoving crap down my throat...

2)  Don't shove crap down my throat! 

3)  Good personality....I'm so weird that I only bond with people who are a little left of center

4)  When you talk in the industry SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT.  I'm all for fun, but when it comes to blogging on AR....and the topic is within the industry.....by all means use the IQ that you've been given.

 

Having said all these things here are my two favorite bloggers on AR.  Now I know that there are a lot of better ones out there I'm sure, but these two are the "real deal" and seem to mix healthy living with poignant posts within our industry.  Plus...they have just a little "seasoning" to jazz their posts unlike many others.

  Ginger's Marin County Real Estate Blog -  Ginger is "nice", if you will, but I like her pizzazz.  She seems to actually enjoy life and want to blog because it's fun.  Plus she's good at it.  She's like an onion that you slowly peel back the layers of who she is by reading each post.  She'll pretty much dominate on AR.

Tony's Blog  -  Mr. Gallegos has been a veritable cornucopia of knowledge.  In a friendly fashion, I'd like to say I'm younger, smarter, and better looking than him (I probably am), but when the truth comes out...he dominates RIGHT NOW on EVERYTHING he writes.....

Who do you like and why....what are you criteria?

Would it be wrong for me to rate this a five?  :o )  THANK YOU!!!!!  You are so kind.  How funny.  I think you nailed me- I am nice, but I am definitely a little feisty too!  (I was going to say spunky, but I always think of spunky people as short, and I am not that!)  I do enjoy life and I am glad that carries over to my blog.  I really, really need to do a better job of carrying my personality over to my other blog.   Am I a little left of center???  I don't know Tony, but I will now. 

Hmm.  What do I look for?  

I agree with all of your criteria.  Plus:

  • I look for someone who is not B*O*R*I*N*G.  Yawn.
  • Someone I connect with- I have pretty varied interests, so I actually connect with lots of different bloggers
  • People who inspire or motivate me
  • I love bloggers who can get to the point relatively quickly.  Some blogs are just too long and I lose interest or don't have time to read and focus on them  (I have work to do!!)
Thanks again.  I don''t know if I will dominate AR- I don't post enough!

Ging....thanks for the comments...nice...home run....You do rock it....I love all of your "add ons."  Boring sucks...variety ROCKS MAJOR LEAGUE...I love inspiration...I need to live an inspired life....Don't have time for a lot of BS.  My "buffini heritage profile says....socialize with larry when he wants to.  I need to work solely on getting work done so that I can focus on the things in life that are fun...

I completely agree- work when you are at work so you can focus on LIFE.  Life is so much more fun than work.
