Does everyone know about the new ActiveRain?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Does everyone know about the new ActiveRain by Richard WeisserAs I perused my “following” list of ActiveRain members, I came across many familiar names and faces that have not posted to the platform in over a year!

There have been a lot of changes at ActiveRain in the last year. There have also been a lot of improvements. And many formerly “active” members may not be aware of the new and improved AR!

So why not reach out to them and let them know about it? A simple call or email just to let them know that they are missed might make a difference. And should they decide to take another look at ActiveRain chances are that they will be pleasantly surprised!

The community at large would benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of these prodigal members.

 

A few contacts a day is all that it would take!

I think that everyone wants to be missed. And knowing that may be enough to have them drop in every once in a while. TY.

I think if we all do that, we will all benefit! Thanks.

I just think if they knew that things were going uphill around here they might choose to get involved again. Thanks.

A guest appearance here every once in a while would be nice too! Thanks so much.

It's a great idea! I've wondered about a few people, wondered what ever happened to them...guess I should just call and find out.

All right, all right Richard Weisser, I'm here!  Lol!  I have been slowly getting back into the Rain and yes, I see many new and fun changes.  Besides, how can we stay away for any length of time.  We keep fresh, motivated and informed coming back regularly.  And the friendships that I have been blessed with, Priceless!

Very good idea!  I did just that when we were having our MeetUp.  Sending them an e-mail, yet none responded!  That amazes me that they don't engage when I personally reach out to them.

Hope it works out. Nice Idea but is really time related. Just now looking at Active Rain. Just one of those days.

I get when those under 30k of points drop off as they probably never experienced the benefits of ActiveRain. The ones that have over a million are the ones that I am facinated with. Obviously they loved the platform for many years.

I love AR, but it's still sorta a secret....

A recent C.E. Class Instructor had it listed on his class slide, but when someone asked about it, he stammered and gave a completely wrong answer (shoulda just said he didn't "rememeber" and would check on it at break...).

I like all the new posts each week that go over new features in a clean and concise manner.  They are informative for everyone new and for old timers that haven't been to the site in a while.

Richard, what a great idea!  I have wondered about many people who have not been as active.  There have been some good changes over the last few months.

On a further note, I decided to check my subscribed blogs and many showed 3 years or more since there last posting. One in particular was Maureen McCabe who was 3 years from posting and had 2704 posts. I liked her gentle sarcasm but obviously she must be doing fine elsewhere.

Richard Weisser, Yes indeed I to have noticed that. But I've also noticed something else rather interesting. As I continue to post, comment, tag others comments and grow I started playing a little game with myself. 

As I work my way up the AR ladder and daily enhance my standing and positioning I, just for the fun of it, click on the blog sites of the members of the many folks above me.

Much to my amazement I find so many that are very inactive or perhaps haven't even been active for sometime. Some even for a year or more. I'm thinking this may be a form of natural atrition to some extent. But that is good for those who are really working to improve their position with AR.

In fact, you've inspired fodder for another post and a much deserving re blog. Thanks for hitting this nerve this morning.

It is a bit of a treat going back and reading some of Active Rains best archives  like this one. Should be shared again.
