With this post I pass 400,000 points on ActiveRAIN. It's been two years this week.It's been just over 1000 posts - most of which have been local market data...for the 19 MLS areas here in Lane County, Oregon.It's been a lot of comments given and received.It's been a lot of fun.It's been a lot of learning. It's been worth it.
Thank you, RAINERS!
With this post my monthly AR fee goes down to $9.00. Sweet! By Halloween, I hope to be up another 100,000 . . . and fee free!
Thank you, ActiveRAIN!

principal broker: What can Active Rain members tell me about a visual tour - syndication service called Previsite?
- 09/16/10 06:51 AM
I was called today by reps from PREVISITE, a company selling a special camera with a "no distortion" fish eye lens that connects you to several real estate listing syndication sites. They are selling unlimited visual tours and the camera (yours to keep). Buyers can span up or down on each visual tour photo as well as from side to side.
I'm sincerely interested in member comments and I'm making this meagar post members only. Please help me out here with YOUR knowledge/comments on this vender.
Below you'll find two charts. One is the Todd Clark chart. It's deceptive. It shows Todd's progress just fine - including him surpassing 1,000,000 points on April 27. But the vertical scale of his chart understates his true rate of progress -- the line just doesn't angle steeply enough. He is (5 comments)
When do you go back to 950,000? (I want to get my bid in early for when you hit a MILLION again: June 27, 11::00.00 CDT.)

principal broker: What Does NAR's Recent Announcement - That Sales of Existing Homes Has Dropped for a Third Straight Month - Mean We Should Be Doing?
- 03/23/10 06:15 PM
We should be calling on Congress to extend the $6500 federal income tax credit for Repeat Home Buyers. $8000 The Washington Post reports the $8000 tax credit for First-Time Home Buyers helped an otherwise sagging market for home sales in 2009. But sales have decreased by 23 per cent since that tax credit's original expiration date in November. $6500 The Post cites an economist for Fanny Mae as believing that the $6500 tax credit for Repeat Home Buyers may not be large enough to really boost sales activity.

This is a chart of the point totals achieved since last spring by the TOP OREGON bloggers here on ActiveRAIN. It's a real in-group post -- probably strictly of interest to Members. It tells us where we've been. It is not necessarily indicative of future performance. An investment of blogging effort could be subject to a loss of capital...if the blogger falls silent. (FOR EXAMPLE: I JUST TOOK MY FIRST LONG VACATION IN 4 YEARS. SO MY LINE MOVED UP LITTLE BETWEEN JANUARY 20 AND FEBRUARY 5.)
