Jonathon - Thanks for posting this information.  I had actually posed a couple of questions about Localism yesterday and members instantly stepped up with links for me.  This is a great online community.

Ah, now I get it.  Thursday at noon you can stake your claim on Localism.  Too bad I won't be at my desk.  What about those of us that will be working?

Jon. Im still confused on the neighborhood designation for example we have focused on Ada, Forest hills, and Cascade Township. Ada Is a small village with a township of the same name with about 5000 homes, Cascade township is next door and has maybe 10,000 homes and they are all in the Forest Hills school system. How do we make the sponsorship decision?  Buy all three and the person that buys Grand Rapids, Michigan which is right next door has 200,000 properties?

I don't think any of us know all the things that AR can become, will become...I look forward to seeing my ideas of a national convention and national them them week become reality....and I am sure there are zillions more...watching it grow and being a part of it is very exciting !

Jonathon.....great information on the benefits of localism.

Hey I just noticed .... NO MORE FREAKING GRAPHICS - THANK YOU!

Sponsoring a community or town - will that be done by phone call, or internet?

Can 1 zip code have more than 1 community?  I hope the answer is yes.

I will have to research this further, Thankyou

How are you today boss???

Jonathan,

Is there any way to put at the top of the blogs...posted to Localism, or to the "outside world"  like you do when someone makes a member's only post.

I mean you could possibly click the member's only post and it still could go to the outside blog?

People will make different comments when it's posted inside our little, rather large community, verses something that was going to the outside world to see.

Does my question make sense?

I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!! YES I will buy a lot, YES I want the exposure, how can you beat the price??  :) and NO I am not biased! I love the new Localism going up. It is sooo cool.

I am looking forward to being able to sponsor a community. Will there be a limit as to how many communities in one city an agent can take? I do not have as many points as some agents on Active rain longer in my area and dont think there will be any cities left that I specialize in.

we actually read this one as soon as it came out. continuing on with Rich's list.

If we are a member of Active rain does that mean we are automatically members of localism?  I see my articles showing up , but when i click to see if I am a neighbor I am not listed ..why?

Everything I read about it gets better and better.... Thanks!

I am sure the day will come when people forgo Zillow and Trulia in favor of a more accurate estimate from a Realtor. Cross your fingers that its soon!

Short and sweet! Very informative!

Thanks for the post!

Have a great week!

Jonathan,

I did support 3 communities and I blog also. What is the difference of if you pay to support a community or not? Will that put us at the front or something? Please let me know. Thanks.

Jonathan, has the vision now changed? With all of the post by AR staff and the features by AR members not liking the New Localism I am really really confused.

I thought I understood the vision - and now with the changes I am feeling like it has changed or has hit a snag because some don't understand and cant figure out why we don't have to talk about real estate all the time.

I see Localism as different than AR am I wrong? Can you write another blog about your vision for Localism.
