Let me share the reason for this question - as I read Noah Seidenberg 's post about Roger.

One of the reasons I love ActiveRain is - ActiveRain is my extended family! I have made many virtual friends here and they have helped me, too - when I needed it most. I always want to meet a member from another part of the world whenever I get an opportunity - just to share the feelings.

It's a culture of sharing and caring.

What about you?

The greatest item that I value on ActiveRain is the education that is possible. Great realtors from all over the nation spill their guts on the site, and it is great to see the variety of postings about the tenor of real estate from coast to coast. I also love the postings home inspectors!

There are so many reasons I love AR. I've made some great friends here, that I probably wouldn't have gotten to know if it weren't for AR. I also love the creative outlet it gives me with writing. I have also learned so much from AR. This site has many, many advantages.

Debbie Laity - all good reasons.

And you'll have one more reason to love AR - hopefully make it before the end of the year. Can you guess what that reason will be? A MILLION SMILES - one for each of the ActiveRain point you have earned so far. Should I congratulate in advance - or wait for your celebration post?

I enjoy reading and answering other's blogs.  Haven't found it to be a networking tool as of yet.  Unless you pay to be a Rainmaker, I don't see how I can use AR to educate the general public. I also do not see many other Realtors from New York using AR, unless I am looking in the wrong area. Still pretty new to AR.

Personally I love the dual benefit. What I gain from my fellow Rainers on how they do their business, bouncing off ideas. Then what content I can create for my potential clients and benefit from the google juice. But I'd say the fellow rainers are winning most days. I gain so much insight from you all.
