You Guys Really Want More Information... Don't You!?!

Teacher in front of class

I wrote a post yesterday that covered how to locate new members.  In fact it's not just new members you can locate, but you can go back and see who joined when.  

So in my comments, Linda Jamail Marshall, a Houston agent, asked me about States.  Since I'm from Houston, I have a soft spot for anyone from there so I thought I'd show you another fun place!!

Linda wanted to know if there was a place that showed all members by state or by city.  You bet there is!

ActiveRain

 
Go to the "Front Page" of Active Rain and in the Blue Tool Bar... Click on STATES!
ActiveRain 


This takes you to, for example, Florida.  You can see Steve Hoffacker is #1 in Florida.  As you scroll 
down on the right you will see everyone by their Points Ranking. (I'm way down at #30).  On the left of the page are major cities, and if you scroll down it will list the counties.

ActiveRain
Now above you'll see Palm Beach County... There's Steve again, and you'll recognize Nestor & Katerina.  Scroll on down and I'm #5.  In the middle are posts that have been written to Hyper Local pages.  On the left are cities within Palm Beach County.

Active Rain
And, finally, the city of Delray Beach.  Notice on the left are neighborhoods within that city. 

So what can you do with all of this information?  Is it true that knowledge is power?  I think it's interesting to know who in your area is on Active Rain..  who's on it and who's active!  Why not call and have coffee with someone in your area?  

It's always interesting to see who's where and who may have dropped off in their posting here.  But remember, under AR Community Guidelines, don't send out unsolicited emails or calls.  Don't use this information for spamming. 

Do welcome someone to Active Rain!  Or set up a mini-meet and greet! 

OK ... any more questions?

Good evening, Kathy. All good information. There used to be a feature that would tell you what member number you are but I forgot how to find it. You know the drill, use it or loose it...

The idea of a mini-meet and greet sounds great to me. Guess it's up to me to make it happen, since I like the idea.

Excellent information, especially for anyone who has never drilled down through their state to see who is on AR in their area.

Michael- I don't think I ever knew my number.

Vicki- did you see the post today from ActiveRain?  They're asking for volunteers for Meet Ups in September?

John- you've got that right!  Just not enough time.  I found these features a long time ago but haven't spent that much time there.

Anita- absolutely!  There are a lot who've never put a profile pic in.

Dorie- I need my memory jogged a lot!  Honestly I was lurking around for months before I realized there was a point system!

Hi Cathy, I actually discovered this a couple of months ago, when I was trying to see who was top in AR, and the various states. Great information to share with other AR members, who need to know this. Getting to know other AR members in the city is always a good idea.

Hi Kathy--you are just a wealth of information, thank you.  I think I should spend some time actually looking at the home page of AR.

No further questions ma'am, but I do remember the lesson I got from you when you passed me up on the leader board as a stager BARFF...............oh yeah, and the e-mail you sent me too.  LMAO.

Jerry- It can't hurt!  You might see someone that is in another field or provides a service to you as a Realtor... perhaps a Stager in San Antonio!!

Janet- I guess I am.. or some might say I'm full of it!

BARFF- What's funny is the Leaderboard doesn't mean Jack___ if you're not getting the business or if you're not enjoying what you do.  You can be on my behind anytime you want.

Always fun to check out these lists and see, not only where you rank, but who's who in the rest of the membership.

Kathy - Great "how to."  We live in one competitive state.  I know other members who have half that points that I do and are #1.

Sharon - it's fun plus I when I scroll through the list I'm reminded of people whom I haven't seen in a while. 

Rebecca- I think we all like lists... .  It's kind of a way of organizing our lives and information. 

Kristine- ah ha.... I found a new place for you!!!  You can go there to see who your NJ AR friends are. 

Janice- Just start clicking links.. you'll never know what you'll find.

Michelle- Hey... I'm not even shooting for #1 in PBC much less Florida!
