So many Active Rainers still to meet...maybe we should do google hangouts

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

You know, I'm finding this contest rather challenging...choosing 3 members...or even 9...whichever way you slice it, there are still so many I'd like to meet.  (And, BTW, I think I've already met about 60 in person and probably spoken to another 20-30 on the phone.

 

Karen Fiddler's road trip post got me thinking.  We should probably do some google hangouts together.  I'm not real tech savvy and I forget how to set them up, but they can't be that hard.  I think we can 10 people on there at a time.  So, maybe we should set some of those up.

 

Just a thought.

Interesting thought Debbie, I wonder what is involved in doing this. I'll check into the idea later today.

Debbie, So many rainers to meet/chat with, so little time :)  I've enjoyed my encounters with everyone so far and no reason to expect different with future meetings.

Debbie,

Like you I have met several (nowhere near 60), and it hard to come up with 3, when I want to meet so many more. A

Tom - You just need to have a G+ account.  And, then I think you can set one up and send invites.

Barbara - Yes, I need to learn how. It can't be that hard.

Bliz - Yes, I agree.  This would be a way to meet a whole bunch at once and maybe collaborate on a topic.

Wow Debbie that is awesome. I hope to meet some folks and talk to a bunch. I have to say I have only talked to 5 different people and only met one or two and they are in my town anyway. It shows you what a rookie I still am. A die hard ARer would know many people and I hope to be there some day.

Noah - I'm lucky enough to have attended RainCamp before they disbanded it and I have been to many local meetups.  And, we had a spontaneous MeetUp in the City last summer so got to meet many that way. Over time, you will meet more and more. and, phone works just as well.

Debbie interesting idea, and I am sure there are many AR members who would love to be a part of a hangout.

By the way if you are not tech savvy then I don't know who is :)

Not sure we will participate...there are many many we have met and spoken with......and more all the time, narrowing the field would be tough..have a good week.

That's a great idea, and G+ makes it super easy. You could start now and just go, if everyone were online when you start! May I join your hang?

All - I'll have to set one of these up soon...although it may be later in the year as it's my busy time right now.  I'll open it up to everyone on AR.

Hi Debbie - I'm impressed that you met 60 members in person plus another 20 by phone.   I'm with George Souto(comment 9) if you're not tech-savvy --- what does that say about the rest of us????
