Blogging with a counter to know what the word count could be a handy Active Rain blogging tool.
One

suggestion at the first board meeting on a new tool to improve the AR platform. Like when you unscrew the car, SUV gas cap, watch the gallons flow, the tumblers of the gas pump whirling, spinning. Two blogs could be made where now you load the post plate with one epic that should be a double, triple feature series.
If you had an Active Rain meter running out of the corner of your eye as you hunt and peck blog post.
The word press blog post platforms, others monitor the wordage. Some would argue just make it from here to here screen monitor wise and guesstimate.
Pull a bold face Zillow maneuver chummy.
Maybe another suggestion. No more calls way way late in the game from Christian who is a nice guy but not the quarter back to work the phones to peddle localities to monetize the AR platform.
Activerain CEO Nikesh Parekh (Niki), Bob, others wearing the AR logo on their blazers, t-shirts with a tag team of continuous day by day insertions. Not drifting in, out. Hit or miss or long periods of hello, someone out there. For those not just feeding at a Rain Camp coming to a stadium near you for what's happening on the other side of the blogging curtain. Communication with coordination from the helm, up on the bridge of the Active Rain blogging ship.
All AR blogging members who spend time helping build, form the bricks, the blog posts from around the world all have a stake in the success of this platform.
What constructive suggestions do you have at this point to bullet point for AR "other side" discussions, brain storming sessions? Many of you are not strangers at blogging at other locations and see neat features that could be implemented... that are not being done here only due to financial constraints. Getting the ear of the powers to be is the stumbler.
This blog post could be a Round Robin of end of the year suggestions list.
To hit 2012 with a list of keep this, trim that, additions to move AR in the direction to avoid standing still. Or going backwards. To keep AR vibrant, healthy and resistant to decay.
