Respect the Active Rain Community
Of all the ActiveRain Community Guidelines the following says it all for me. If all members fully embraced the Spirit of the Community and showed Respect, we would not need any other guidelines.

activerain: What’s so special about Weltanschauung?
- 01/13/12 03:49 AM
What’s so special about Weltanschauung?
Weltanschauung is “the guiding principles and philosophy of an organization; a world view.”
Guiding principle #8: We believe in spirited discourse, but personal attacks or predatory behavior will not be tolerated. Respect and civility are the shared values that unite us all.
Guiding principle #8 resonates with me personally for several reasons. As a San Jose Real Estate Agent guiding principles of my business are honoring others for who they are and treating people with dignity and respect. This includes honestly at all costs. I am no service to others if I cannot be honest with them. Some sellers … (9 comments)

This was such a fun thing to do. When I asked my son to take a photo of me he was more than happy to oblige. When I opened my umbrella he looked at me like I had officially lost it. Once I explained it was for ActiveRain … he immediately understood the connection.
Photo taken in the streets of San Francisco on Pacific Avenue where my son lives.

Yesterday I received a telephone call. The voice on the line said: "These guys are awesome. Thank you so much for the referral."
I said, that's great. I'm glad it went well.
My client said "Oh, we are not done yet. We are just getting ready to head over to the new house."
I had the privilege and honor of meeting Peggy Hughes at RainCamp in September 2010. I got to know Peggy at the after party. I was intrigued by the menu of services offered by Peggy Hughes Associates - from boxes to dinner parties is 48 hours!

The host of the radio show, Real Estate Radio Bay Area, Karen Levine, invited me to be a guest on her show. Karen found me a couple of months ago on ActiveRain. Thank you ActiveRain!
I must confess, it took me a couple of weeks to get the courage to commit to being on the radio show.
I will definitely need to meditate this evening and tomorrow morning before going to the radio station.
I'm excited about the opportunity to discuss real estate on the radio.
I'm feeling extremely honored to be an invited guest.

Domain Names and Keywords … How do they make the Cutt?I’m referring to Matt Cutts.
Watch Matt Cutts (the head of Google’s anti-web spam team) video and listen to what Matt Cutts has to say about key words in domain names and Google’s plan to further reduce the effects of key words in domain names. The new Google algorithms will focus more on quality and relevance of webpages and less on keywords in domains.
Cutts leans towards things that are brandable … and he uses “android” and “viagra” as examples of how difficult it is to rise above the noise – … (10 comments)
