Have you Noticed? So many interesting technology tools and people on the Rain!

As I visit various blog posts, I can't help but notice the interesting information either shared, or listed on the right side:

Widgets, bloglog communities, technorati, LinkedIn, Truila, Ning, Flickr, postlets, Snapshots, Meez, Slideshows, Photobucket, 411.com, RedKid.net, ImageChef, Ziki, etc.! Then there are the longtail words!  Is there anything I missed?

I have to admit that I've been curious on many occasions, visited the widget, or whatever, and decided: "yeah, that's for me."  So I signed up. Now, I have each of the above either on my blog or I've signed up. I still haven't figured out all of the ins and outs, but that'll come - in due time.

There is so much useful information here on Active Rain contributed by those in the "know." I have learned more than I can begin to describe. I would list some of the names here, but suffice it to say, there are quite a few - some of whom I've not even discovered yet. ;-) Where else could we find such great resources in one place. Active Rain is GREAT!!!

Recently, I decided to add to my list of subscribees.....I would choose someone who had visited and commented on one of my posts, look at what they had to say on their profile as well as their blog posts, or I would visit a random post and do the same, or I would choose from a featured post. With so many onboard, I decided I needed to add to my subscribe list. I'm up to 72 from about 50 a week or so ago. You see? I want to get to know more of the people on Active Rain.

Since my time seems so limited, I notice that I continue to visit those bloggers who:

1. post shorter posts or have more "air"
2. include photos
3. post localism posts
4. are friends
5. reciprocate
6. are entertaining

I think it helps narrow down those of us who are on the same page. It's like weeding out friends in our day to day lives. We might have many acquaintenances;  however, they are not the ones I call each day, or have dinner with, or visit frequently. I think the same rings true of those we respond to here.

I am also making an effort to better contribute to or comment to the posts I visit. I've decided I like that better, than "thanks!"

Okay, gotta keep this short.......;-)
