hi everyone. As the marketing group approaches the 2000 member mark, I'd like to thank all of you for your great posts, comments and participation. I'm constantly impressed by the high quality of content being posted and the diversity of feedback, opinions and information sharing that goes on here on Active Rain.
That being said, I'd like to point out a few blogs that really caught my eye recently. Some are from well established members as well as great stuff from some of the newer faces here on AR.
The marketing group and Active Rain are becoming more like Google and the web in general. As more and more info gets posted, it becomes more difficult to read everything, let alone find the quality, on topic gems. So in case you missed them, here are just a few of the outstanding posts from the past few weeks...

Marti, thanks for the mention. I've bookmarked this so that I can read each of the posts.
Marti.... I am just now catching up on some of the blogs. This was great because I need to step up my marketing approach and you listed some great blogs. I am sorry that this didn't get much attention that it fell through the cracks. Maybe flagging it will help some. And lastly, thanks for that mention. I appreciate that.

Nice to see you back! I love the list and noticed that I missed some of these when they were posted.
Thanks Marti
Hi Marti...
It really is nice that you have returned to all of this.
It's been a while since I posted anything in this group. I wasn't posting in here because you were M.I.A.
Glad you're back and hope you'll stick around :)
TLW...ROAR!
TLW... good morning and thanks for the nice note. I'm no longer M.I.A. and now that my work/travel schedule has calmed down, I'll definitely be here. Have a great weekend my friend...
