The Polls are closed, a new one opens

I recently changed the poll along the side of my blog page.

Here are the results of the previous poll. Thank you to all who voted.

Has Active Rain helped your Real Estate Business?

42% Yes, Tremendously

27% Not yet, but I think its going to!

22% A Little

09% No, not a bit

Please take the time to vote on the latest Poll, "Who is your favorite Active Rain Blogger?"

It doesn't record who voted, so no one will know.

Because the Poll has been a bit shy on the right side of this page, if it doesn't show I made it public and you can visit the Poll directly by clicking here.

Here's the choices. (And they are all positive members of the ThemThem Group)

Carole Provenzale Owner, Feng Shui Long Island (Feng Shui Long Island): Home Stager in Locust Valley, Nassau County, New York

Lenn Sharon Jeff Sally Jason Renee Donna Brad Carole

Duane, thanks for your update on the previous poll and the new one on the luminaries in blogging here in the Rain. I look forward to your results.

Thanks for yout tasking the time to provide us with this information in the Active Rain network. AR is the new "cyber backbone" of the industry, and with it's uplink to Localism.com it will transfrom the marketplace. Agents who don't see which way the cyberwind is blowing are going to find themselves at a considerable disadvantage inside of three to five years.

Man DUane, I thought for sure I would've made it onto the newer poll. LOL Oh well..I made my vote. :)

Gary, thanks for stopping by. Were off to a good start already with the new poll. It's going to be an interesting poll.

I voted! they are all great bloggers and I subscribe to most of them already...

Duane - Thanks for introducing the ones who's blogs I haven't found yet. How can I possibly vote without knowing all the candidates? Perhaps if I were the member of a political party.......

Duane ~ I don't know that I noticed the other poll! I just voted on this one though. Very tough to decide as they are all very good.

Hi Duane - I don't actually see the poll on your page anywhere. Am I missing it?

WOW! I made it to a poll?? I'm so excited! I'll have to vote for myself. Is that wrong?

Jason, I was lost too, and then it just appeared on the right out of no where when I refreshed a couple of times.

Rob, isn't that the truth, almost like working without a computer or a cell phone, yet they don't see it, but they will, someday. By then the agents here will be so far ahead of them.

Donna - I still don't see it. Maybe it is rigged. :)

Hurray. I made a poll. Love it.

No question for me, blogging is good business.

Lenn

Jason, LOL, I was hoping you didn't figure it out, FYI, you are tied with Brad at this point. Its there, still not seeing it?

Jeremy, maybe the next round, you are well deserving of it. I wish they would allow more then 9 choices, there are so many I wanted to add. Thanks for stopping by and voting.

Duane

Jason, OK, its doing the same on my end now too. What did you do????

They are ALL my favs, and where is your name Duane?

Thanks for putting me in the ranks of some really awesome and respected Bloggers, what an honor to be included. I vote for them all! :-)

Duane - I got it to work finally. Sorry to have messed it up in the first place. :)

Duane:

Thanks for doing this poll. I can't vote, cause I haven't read some of the contestants, but thanks for pointing out some of the luminaries I should check out!

Gerard

Duane, To say I am honored would be a HUGE understatement, these are the BEST on ActiveRain and I don't feel I even qualify to be up there with them. But I can't thank you enough for thinking to include me in the best of the best. I don't see how to vote, what am I missing? I already know who my favorite blogger is (and unfortunately it's not me :)!

There are some great bloggers in your line up. I've read their work and find it very inteesting. I've made my vote also.

Jason Crouch is hands down my favorite! I have gotten to know him through his blogs and he gets my vote for the best! Lenn and Sharon very close runners, however.

Duane: This is a great idea... I don't know how you decided on these bloggers because there are so many Rainers who I really love ... I have way too many faves! But I did vote ... hard to choose just one!

I can't see the poll anymore either... who's winning?? I need to know, I need to know!! j/k...

Naoma, I agree, they all exceptional. Glad you took the time to vote.

Mike, but they are all members of a political party called The Active Rain Movement (ARM), grin.

Kathy, I made this one a little brighter, the other was red and blended in. I agree on the tough vote, I'm taking a the fifth on my vote.

Donna, not wrong at all, I would have to guess each politician votes for themselves.

Lenn, thanks for stopping by, hope you took the time to vote.

Brad, you are welcome and well deserving. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment and vote.

I'm not worthy of this fine line up, but I'm learning.

Have a great day in The Rain,

Duane

Jason, LOL, don't think it was you, I think it decided to be as little shy before making its appearance.

Gerard, I added the links to each members profile page so it will be easier to check them out. Hope you take the time to do so, they are all impressive.

Oh...I have way over 300 people I subscribe to...and I love them all!

Interesting

Duane - I was going to vote but I can't find the poll. I 'll check back to see if it appears on the page for me if I refresh.

Hi Duane,

I didn't look for the voting section because the polls were closed before I got here. I subscribe to most as well.

Duane, I couldn't find the poll either. Must be too late. I'll have to check back earlier for the next one.

Never mind Duane, the poll showed up after I wrote my comment. I went ahead and voted and it worked. Great idea.

Carole, thanks for stopping by, the poll is being a bit shy it seems. Now when I clicked on this post it was there, but see that some are having to refresh before it appears. It shows up under the "Wish List" portion on the right hand side of the menu here.

Sorry I left off ther "e" on your name, didn't catch it until after I loaded the code, and wasn't sure if changing it would goof up the existing votes, please forgive me.

Duane

Robert, thanks for stopping by and voting, tough choice I know.

Duane - Great 'contest' - next one, how about favorite commenter? You and Gary Wortal would probably win hands down!

Howdy Duane

What you are doing is really neat. I made my vote.

I'll check back to see the results.

God Bless The U.S.A.

Melody, thanks for taking the time to vote, we have a real race going on between Jason & Brad at this point, but it's not over until its over!

Jan, thanks for stopping by and voting. Not really sure how I chose them either, LOL. To many excellent choices, I agree.

The ones that benefitted are probably the ones that understand the Internet more.

Donna, I added the link so you can go directly to the poll if its being shy. Currently Jason is leading, but Brad is hot on his trail.

Sally, I'm not sure what my subscriptions numbers are, but follow a bunch of great people as well. To much fun.

Jeff, thanks for stopping by.

Pam, were you able to see the poll? I did add a direct link if the poll on the right side of the page is still being shy.

Hal, the old poll closed, the new one is open with the favorite bloggers. Hope you take the time to vote.

Bob, I added a link in the post if its not showing up along the side.

Bob, should have read the next comment, glad to see it worked for you. Thanks for taking the time to vote. Right now it's Jason for President.

Virginia, I like that idea, Gary does a great job with commenting, and you included. Thanks for stopping by.

Duane

Dale, thanks. Its a race between Jason and Brad still, but there are 90,000+ votes outstanding, LOL

Heath, so true and utilize it.

Hi Duane,

AR is an affriming and encouraging community and I appreciate the love, time and energy you and others put into all of us!

We are a team of World Shakers and Destiny Changers!

I voted and am happy to say that most of these are on my To-Read list! Next poll idea is New Groups on RAIN- be good cheryl

Dan, thanks for stopping by, I'm just a cheer leader in The Rain. I agree, the membership are the shakers and changers of the industry.

Have a great day in The Rain,

Duane

Cheryl, I'll keep that in mind for the next poll.

Duane- That's a cool feature: the Poll. This is the first time I voted and I have to say I immediately felt bad when I saw the results. I couldn't believe how some had low votes....so I think I'll just put a vote in for everyone;-)
