Our "What's It To You?" Contest ended yesterday and we've had some really good input. I really appreciate being able to read some fabulous posts.
Apparently a number of you can't wait to end in your checks. You all find the community to be an essential tool for you. It's a tool to share knowledge, but also you find this to be a place to develop friendships and you have grown through your interactions with other members. For some of you The ActiveRain Real Estate Network has helped your business, but the connections you are making are very valuable to you.
James Coogan still can't believe this valuable resource is free. I like what he says about ActiveRain being a "tool" in his "web box." It's a part of his work now. A tool that doesn't require his own maintenance He just has to participate to do well.
To Kristal Kraft, checking in with AR is now a part of her routine. She's connecting and developing relationships with fabulous people across the country as well as learning and sharing knowledge and advice.
Bryant Tutas has increased his understanding of Real Estate technology tremendously. But he's most grateful for the friendships he's formed here.
Meeting others from across the US has been a wonderful experience for Jacqulyn Richey.
Colleen Kullikowski found The Network to be a place to learn and grow stronger in her career.
I like how Sharon Simms, ActiveRain as sort of a virtual home, and The Community as almost a virtual family.
Pam Hofmann is proud of the ActiveRain Community that she has become a part of, two came through for her and helped her to be a hero.
Maureen Francis & Dmitry Koublitsky have learned a lot from reading what others have brought in. They've learned about how the many resources from ActiveRain as well as resources available from other sources. Distant friends have reconnected with them. They've written a number of fabulous posts, using their superhuman blogging powers they were even able to enter the contest 10 minutes before it started ;).
And the winner is...Marco Island's, Colleen Kulikowski for her post "What ActiveRain Means To Me." What does the fabulous blogger win? I've upped the top prize to 600 points. Congratulations and Thank you Colleen.
