Missy, thanks for the list, no I'm not reading any currently guess I'll have to start.

Missy, thanks for the heads up.  You seem to know your way around AR, and I'm more than happy to follow your lead!  Consider them added to my subscription list--and you too.

Thanks for the info.  I need to check out the wives blogs as I already am subscribed to the others.  Thanks again.

Definitely one reason why this is such a great place to be!  I have seen so many wants and needs listened to and either implemented immediately or given a reason why they are not implemented right now.

Missy, Great Post. I guess this is one of the reason why I subscribe to yours.:-) I was lucky enough to meet Matt and Lydia in Orlando.  Two great people who really know a lot about their jobs.

Missy,

All interesting people, and they're so young!!! Thanks,   Fran

Hi Missy,

Think we already do subscribe to them but thanks for the reminder.  We'll double check.

Missy-What value you bring to every blog that you post.  Thank you for bringing this to my attention and many others.  I love Active Rain!!!!

Missy..... I talk to Bill Gates daily. He even calls me. Oh, there is another Bill Gates, but not the one from Microsoft.... my bad.... lol    

Hey, I don't need Michigan to beat Ohio State now. Ohio State is one number behind WVU. But I am actually still cheering for the Wolverines.   

Missy, thanks for this post.  There is so much information here on AR that I really had no idea who was running the place.  I've been too busy just finding my way around & trying to behave like a good Rainer!

Hi Missy,  Thank you for this information!!  I have subscribed!!!

MISSY:  I didn't know everybody's position.  Thanks for sharing this information with all of us.  It is great to be able to talk to the people that are running things.  It makes it easier to be a part of the direction of the company.

Missy, thanks! I knew Jonathan and Bob but not the rest!

Missy--I did not know this...You seem to know EVERYTHING!! Thanks for sharing your info with the rest of us!

Missy, this is a great group....I will add the ones to whom I don't already subscribe to my list.  Thanks!

Missy:  Here you go again being selfless and letting everyone know about our guys and gals behind the scenes...woopee!

Missy - You make a great point here.  Thanks for bringing these to our attention.  I subscribed to Jonathan and Bob, but not the others.  Guess I need to check them out -

Hey Missy,

    The bottom line I look at in your message here is the interaction we have with those above mentioned, that's unique and quite frankly.....cool!  I, like Crouch, need to check out the others...

Missy...

Hmmm...I wonder what 'Code Monkey' will think when he sees his name is not on the list? :)

Not to mention all the other folks that are behind the scenes :)

TLW...ROAR!

TLW, send me their blogs and I will add them, not intentional to leave them out. I've heard of Ben, but didn't know he blogged. I personally don't know anyone else behind the scenes.

Either link them here or send me an email to missy@missycaulk.com. Thanks,

AMEN!

I paused and thought about your Bill Gates comment and smiled.  We are so blessed here to have the "gods" of AR to talk with and read their works.   Thanks for putting this list together Missy.

Thanks, Missy - I hadn't come across Nicole Ray so will be sure to add her to my Subscribed list. I really enjoy reading posts from the Active Rain gods and their spouses (without whom they could not remain gods).

Missy, Thank you for posting this information, I don't think many of us knew about some of these people and I would love to subscribe. I'm sure I have been missing some wonderful posts and information and am glad you've put this together.

Missy:  Here ya go... one more  http://activerain.com/coreyjewett

Corey Jewett, Developer

Missy, I had subscribed to half of the people's blogs you wrote about but especially missed out on the spouses.  Thanks for sharing.

Missy:

Thanks!  I didn't even know that 3/4's of these people existed!  Let me go venture around and see what useful things I can discover or any more fun that I can have!

I will do just as you recommend. I usually always follow your advise as you are wise, disciplined and just know what the heck you are talking about. Great post and I 'm doing it. Thanks again Missy.

Missy - I know they are going to be happy with all those new subscribers, because we are coming based on your recommendation. Thanks for letting us know.

Missy, Thanks for the introduction. It is nice to put a face to names. We are blessed to have so many tallented people. Deb

Missy thanks for the heads up. Best of luck and keep doing what you do.

Missy, As one of those who had an aha moment in that last post, let me say thanks for the introduction. I have no idea who these people are, but if you say I should read their stuff, I'll have to check it out. Thanks again.

Missy - Thanks for keeping us informed as to who are the people in charge.

Missy - Thanks ! I am currently subscribing ! I definatly want to read and learn more and who better to do it from !

Missy-You are right...we are so lucky and yes I am so guilty by not stopping by each and every posts but I do know who is who...and love them all for what they have given us....I need to work on my manners I do appreciate the reminder...  :)   

Hi Missy, In my previous life I interacted with CEO's/CFO's etc. for big Cable Companies all over North America. I always wondered what it would be like at a small company. My hubby started at Cisco systems on the East Coast when it just got started (ok, he got lucky). The point is- we are at the forefront of the future of real estate and internet marketing and we are lucky to have the expertise of the Washburns, the Heatons, Nicole Rae, and others. The growth of AR is exciting and I look forward to the next Chapter.

Missy- Thanks for letting us know about all of these people. I had no idea they blogged, who they are on AR and that we can interact with them until I read your post about Bob Stewart. Katerina

Missy - Thanks for adding all the company staff together. The first two months on AR I had no clue who was behind the Active Rain curtain. I have dealt mainly with Bob, who is nothing short of amazing to work with. Keep an eye out for my next "Match Me With My Wheels" challenge, it should be alot of fun. Bob suggested a different twist and it should be a lot of fun!! Thanks. I had no idea about Cory, glad we learned of him too.

Missy-Thanks....funny but I read one of Sarah's posts, but never put 2 and 2 together that she was Jonathans wife :)  Guess it doesn't matter as each has their own thing they bring to the table.....and I love Frans statement they do all look so young :) :)

Missy - Thanks for the heads up. Was not familiar with the wives of AR.

Missy thank you for the list. This great to have and I will start subscribing to some of their blogs. You're right what come out there can you interact so much with the CEO's Your Orlando & Lake Mary Real Estate Expert, Heather Joubran

My first reaction to the faces you posted is "WOW they are all so young!" But then again why should that surprise me. My 19 year old son and 15 year old daughter are designing and developing their own blogs and mastering computer skills that I may never comprehend. So go figure. We will all be learning so much from the Gen Ys and Gen Xs in the remainder of our days here. They are so much more advanced with the tech stuff! I am trying to catch up though.

Thanks for the great info. I am new at this and was not familiar with any of them.

Hi Missy, I just heard the name Code Monkey mentioned today in a blog and had to check out some of the posts. Somehow I missed Code Monkey the 1st time around.

Missy...

Ah. Ha. You posted "Code Monkey" ...

I didn't get back to you cuzz I decided to check with him and see if it was okay to put him in your blog.

I did that because he is hiding in the rain :)

He did say it was okay. No worries :)

And for all who wish to know Ben Wiseley is the head "Code Monkey" on AR. He is in charge of all the codes and keeping AR up and running smoothly.

There can only be one "Code Monkey" ...

Look out for him...He's an anarchist and takes great pride in that :)

He also has a wonderful sense of humor and took being dubbed "Code Monkey" very well :)

TLW...ROAR!

Actually - I'm not the head "Code Monkey"... but I'm not sure who is  (anarchy anyone?) :)  FYI - Code Monkey is a derogatory term for a total "hack" of a programmer (where hack is the "old" school definition ... aka 1/2 ass) ... it's kind of an insider insult in the coding community.  But - hey - I'm fine with it - titles suck  (anarchy!).

ps - not really an anarchist - more of an extreme libertarian (let me know when you find a country that's libertarian!, until then, anarchist).

pss - TLW is allowed to call me what ever she wants! 

Code Monkey...

You're the head "Code Monkey" in my AR book :)

Are you calling me "Old" ?? :)

Keep it up and I'll add a few more nicknames just to see how many people I confuse. They have your email now. LOL.

Anarchy it is then :)

TLW...ROAR!

TLW, Sally, also mentioned Corey in her comments, who  I don't know and never heard of and didn't have a blog, so I left him in the comments. I have no clue what he does or would have added him in. Ben, if you know and want to send me his job description, I'll edit the post. Not my intent to leave him out, but just for the community to subscribe to the families.

Ben, thanks for commenting, and I'll let you know if I find a libertarian country. Thanks for all you do, and the explanation of what a code monkey is.......LOL So since it is a derogatory term, what shall all of us but TLW, call you ? Did you house ever sell ? I never heard a follow up on it.

More Head's Up! from Missy! Thank you - I knew there were many behind the scenes - but didn't know the who/where/what/how about them!
