active rain: Active Rain has Changed (I think?)
- 07/28/08 08:56 AM
Some changes I noticed today, or is it just me? Did I miss something or a post explaining the new change? Either way, I love the comments part where I don't have to type that dreaded password in after each comment. If they only knew how much more time that took for a one finger typist, LOL. Thank you, if this is the newest change. The other change I noticed is when I post a Blog, the Groups are all condensed into one category, very clean. Nice changes Active Rain! They are changes, right?

active rain: Mark Deering is in the House! Welcome to the Active Rain Family.
- 07/28/08 07:35 AM
After begging inviting Mark Deering with Remax Grand Valley (Ottawa County, Michigan) over the past few months, he has finally arrived and joined the Active Rain Family. I know Mark personally and he is a creative, hard working agent, that was a bit reluctant about the site. Thanks to a recent post by Brian Block about the success stories of Active Rain, I was able to convince Mark of the Power of The Rain. Mark's personal web site is Moves Made Easy Please take the time to visit Mark's Active Rain profile and welcome him to the Family. Welcome aboard Mark, … (28 comments)
active rain: Scared (for a better use of words) Crapless.
- 07/26/08 06:48 AM
I joined The Rain on October 04, 2007 and shyly surfed the site for the first 10 days. No comments, no posts, in fact I hardly understood the concept of "Blogging." Blogging, it's not even in the spell check system. How important can it be if it hasn't made the spell check system? (hint, hint Active Rain Team). I thought what the heck, I'll look into it now that I'm here. My first post was on October 14, 2007. Nervous, yep, after seeing the post that some of the seasoned (OK, old timers) Rainer's were posting. But, what to write? Would I … (56 comments)

active rain: Todays the Day, 100,000 Members in Active Rain, YeeHaa (Its OFFICIAL)

Today is the day that Active Rain tops the 100,000 members mark. A big ThemThem to the Active Rain Team and all the members in helping this network be the best it can be. I have watched the Members number grow daily and to see it go to the 6 digit number is going to be exciting and rewarding.

active rain: BLOG! Did I just swear?
- 07/10/08 02:01 AM
Hey, you can stick it in your BLOG! Go ahead and BLOG yourself! When I suggest to a Real Estate Professional to join Active Rain and start networking and blogging. You would think I said the nastiest word I have in my vocabulary. People almost start to hyperventilate at the word BLOG. What the BLOG did you just say? It's a scary word, BLOG, but is it? Why do so many fear the word. OK, I agree, the word BLOG has not made the spell check dictionary as of yet (Hint, Hint Active Rain Team) as most swear words don't, but it's not … (46 comments)

active rain: 11,150,258 Active Rain Points, YES, you read it right!
- 06/18/08 05:01 AM
A BIG ThemThem to the top point holders of the Group. These are the top bloggers who have given so much to each and everyone of us throughout The Rain. The learning, laughs and lingering friendships have been fantastic. The ThemThem Group includes Newbies with 200 points all the way up to the Top Point Holder of Active Rain and everyone in between. The awesome part, here they are all equal and practice the "5P" approach (Positive People Providing Positive Posts). The combined points for the 50 top point holders of the ThemThem Group members, comes to a whooping 11,150,258 and … (69 comments)

active rain: Really, what are we all doing here in Active Rain?
- 06/07/08 03:39 AM
I have noticed that many cities have only a few members in the Active Rain Network. My particular city has a total of 6 members including myself, 3 of which I have invited to join. Some times I feel like I'm walking alone in The Rain in my area. I have invited nearly all the area Real Estate Professionals to join this great site with not much luck. So I ask what are we really doing here in the Rain? My take, of course we all want to build our business presence, I feel that's #1 on most members list. Admit … (52 comments)
active rain: How to increase the bust line!
- 05/30/08 10:23 AM
Bust lines in business is the last thing all of us want to increase. The Bust Line in business equates to bankruptcy, out of business, done, over, nadda, whatever you want to call it, you are busted. As our bust line gets closer the party is over in this case. Real Estate Professionals in most cases create their own bust line by not taking the B.R.A. approach. BRA? Now you are scratching your head I'm sure.
(B.R.A.) *B = Being *R = Real Estate *A = Active How to increase your Bust Line. Don't learn how to Blog. … (30 comments)

active rain: I'm having an online affair. Honest to Blog, how did she know?
- 05/18/08 07:27 AM
After spending a late night into the early morning being the voyeur I've become here on Active Rain, I was asked the dreaded question "Are you having an online relationship?" "Um, no honey", I quickly responded. She didn't buy that answer, darn! Digging deeper into my excuse file, I threw out a strong "Now why would you accuse me of such a thing?" hoping to take her edge away and gain the control of the conversation in my favor. Hhmmm, didn't work either as she discounted my, answer a question with a question tactic and demanded an answer. "Honey, I love you. Have I told you that lately?" … (58 comments)
active rain: Please welcome Diane Griffin to the Active Rain family.
- 05/15/08 12:09 PM
I would like to introduce Diane Griffin, our newest Active Rain member. Diane is a phenomenal Broker with Keller Williams in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have had the pleasure of doing business with Diane, and her attention to detail and a focus on service is second to none. Diane is driven, but always has the time to stop and chat like a human without the feeling that she is rushing the conversation. Its one of the great traits she possesses. Please take the time to visit Diane's profile page as well as her web site Thank you in advance for welcoming Diane to our Active … (25 comments)
active rain: Welcome Lenn Harley to the ThemThem Group
- 04/16/08 07:19 AM
I would like to offer a warm welcome to Ms. Lenn Harley to the ThemThem Group. Lenn has reached an unbelievable 400,000 points on Active Rain. I had extended an invitation to Lenn when the Group started, and she was gracious enough to respond back that her main goal was writing about Real Estate Industry content. In turn Lenn has posted many ThemThem's to others that warrant a pat on the back to Industry leaders here on Active Rain. If you haven't read her posts before (where have you been I ask? Grin) please stop by her home page and check out the … (12 comments)
active rain: Active Rain ranks high on search engines.
- 04/11/08 05:22 AM
I'm amazed at the high ranking Active Rain posts receive when doing a search for web sites through a search engine. Many times the Active Rain members post receive higher rankings then their personal web sites do. But what really amazes me is the fact that majority of the Real Estate "Professionals" I invite to join Active Rain, simply do not do so. I'm not sure if they don't understand the value that Active Rain can and will bring to their business or if they are just to lazy to check it out? Not only is the camaraderie unbelievable, but the networking … (24 comments)
