One Never Knows Who will be Reading Your Blog
One of my family members gave me a call the other day to alert me to a reference to me in an article. I immediately had to think as to what I might have done lately that would have gotten me some notice.
The mention was in a syndicated article by Lew Sichelman of United Feature Syndicate. While the particular article had just been picked up by our Hartford Courant titled How Many homes is too many in a Search, it had originally been published in the Charlotte observer in September.
The article was obviously on home buying and the searches a buyer will utilize.
Within the article several ActiveRain members were also referenced and if similar to my post, it had to have been information gleaned from posts. These members were Claude Labbe, Norma Toreing, Rod Pierson, and Ric Mills.
I hadn't seen the original article and was quite surprised that I would have been mentioned through syndication. We know we do get attention to our posts by comments made by people near us. Having our information utilized and making the proper recognition is inspiring.
I don't know that I will put extra efforts into my future posts, as what was used was done to inform local readers of the information available and the resources we offer to assist them. As the keepers of the information necessary to make informed decisions on home buying and selling we are the local authorities, but also as noted our posts can be used for a National audience as well.
