This blog here on ActiveRain has gotten kind of ignored lately.

I think the great ActiveRain public have caught onto the fact that I'm phoning in my blog, so they're phoning in their support, as it were.

Either that, or the folks I used to pal around with here are enjoying the busy season.  The nice thing about being a Broker is that I too am enjoying the busy season, but I get to spend more time at my desk than most agents even in the busy season.

Maybe I should stop phoning it in and start writing great in-depth journalism and engaging in witty repartee.  Or half-witty repartee, maybe.  Half-witted Cool Whip, in any case.

In one respect, having a blog where not much is going on is somewhat liberating.  I get to say what I want here, without fear of undue readership.

I had wished for a few more people to come by and check out Houssee.com from here.  Response was underwhelming.  I guess incoming links are less entertaining than points.  Either that or no one's got anything to submit up there, because they're phoning it in, too.

I'm going to think about setting up call forwarding.

If you know what that means, let me know.  I phoned it in.

Hey, John....so I hopped over to Housee.com, but found that you have to register to make comments. People like easy, without any hoop jumping. Just my observation. Cool looking site though....

You shouldn't be so neglectful. I always enjoy your half-witted Cool Whip!

John, I am so new to all of this social networking and blogging, some of us are a bit slower than others?  Do you think you would have more comments if you posted to groups?

John, I love technology but text messanging is where I said NO.  I don't enjoy it so I don't do it but that's the nice thing about technology if we choose not to do something well then that's our chose.

Hi John, I stopped over too.  Nice site & thanks for the e-mail regarding a potential link.  I'm not sure if you meant that I had to sign up to place a link or that you had already put one in.  But, I have to say, I'm with Rich...I think you might have more response if sign up for voting was not required.  JMHO.

I appreciate your input, but I think signing up for social networks is pretty standard -- cf ActiveRain, Digg, Twitter, Stumbleupon, etc., etc., etc.  In the case of social voting systems it's a minimal defense against vote stuffing, and even requiring sign up only makes it possible to avoid, not guaranteed.

I guess in the end those who find it useful or amusing will use it, and those who don't, won't.
