ActiveBob.....It's always Raining!

I might create ActiveDrain - It could be a site where plumbers go to talk about leaky pipes and clogged stuff. The weekly review would be composed of the best pictures of plumber's crack.

I might create ActiveTrain - It could be a site where conductors get together and talk about Air Monkeys, Bell ringers and Beehives (look it up civilian.......actually, what does a conductor call someone that's not a conductor? I don't know......)

I might create ActiveTrain(er) - It could be a site where athletic trainers get together and talk about dumbbells, medicine balls and funny smelling locker rooms. They could also ridicule the guy that can't bench 300 pounds and doesn't drink grass shakes for lunch.

I might create ActiveStain - It could be a site where Dry Cleaners (do they have an official title?) get together and talk about automated clothing racks, dry cleaning solution and pressing machines. They could also laugh at all the rest of us that are willing to pay tons of money to have our clothes cleaned without water or soap. 

I might create ActiveSpain - It could be a site that tourists get together and talk about attending the..............there must be something.........shoot, I'm drawing a blank. I have no idea what people visit when they go to Spain. I need to get out more.

I might create ActiveChain - It could be a site where parents go to post pictures of those crafty little chains that kids bring home in kindergarten around christmas time to hang on the tree. (Do they still make those things? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? Did I just have a really weird kindergarten teacher?)

I might create ActiveFeign - It could be a site where people pretend to be someone they are not and everyone uploads audio files that don't really sound like them talking.

I might create ActiveGain - It could be a site for college freshman to join after gaining the dreaded 'Freshman 15'. They could all console each other and pledge to "totally hate that skinny @#$@#"

I might create ActiveGrain - It could be a site where people go once they get off that cultish Atkins diet to figure out how their body can accept carbs again.  

I might create ActiveSprain - It could be a site where people can go to upload a picture of their sprained ankle and an audio track of the sound(these would have to reproduced by mouth) it made when the incident occurred. Other members could then tell you it's just a sprain, you  need ice, compression and elevation instead of going to the hospital and wasting your $50 on the co/pay. You could then use that $50 to go get some crutches you will use for 3 days. (you can probably get the crutches for $20 on craigslist and actually come out $30 ahead). Of course, the member who uploaded the audio and the photo would have their wife sitting at the computer with them telling them they had better get their but to the emergency room, so the interface should be quick..........I've almost got the business plan done for this one (we would also get the site ActiveStrain)........I just can't figure out how to get rid of the sensible wife component...........hmmmm........

I might create ActiveVain - It could be a site similar to HotOrNot.com except that people would only be allowed to rate themselves. Every profile could have the song "I'm too Sexy" playing. In fact, every page on the site would have that song.

and my personal favorite..........

I am going to create ActivePain - It is going to be a site where wrestling fans get online and challenge each other to back yard wrestling matches dressed as their favorite WWE characters. Participants will use moves like "The Whooping Crane", "The Ball and Chain" and "The Sewer Main" (do not try these moves at home) The winner of the match will be allowed to join ActiveReign and the losers will have to join ActiveShame!  

Louis is obviously a smart guy. He has some heavy hitters contributing to the HomeGain blog and is already generating a lot of conversation. There has to be someone reading this that has an opinion about what he put forward in this post.

(now if we can just convince him to start the comments with the first comment at the top, not the most recent comment.........maybe it's just me, but I was confused for a minute) 

If you haven't seen the home page yet, we added a little video frame on there. We can show different stuff to someone if you are logged in versus if you aren't. It was really non-productive, all I did all day long was surf the internet for video................I'm not complaining.......remember, I love my job!

Do you want to make the home page of AR on a consistent basis? Come up with a cool, innovative, funny, engaging video series about real estate in weekly installments........you're sure to get some air time. While you try to figure out the next great real estate series (or is that the first great real estate series?) I'll be busy figuring out what to play on the front page of AR until you come up with something good for me! Maybe you have something you think is worth getting some exposure for that you didn't create? I'd love to hear about it or have you provide a link to it. 

(please note, this is not an invitation to drop random crap links in my post :-) )

I know that between the 70,000 people out there we have to have a couple of people here that are creative enough to produce some great stuff. Fill my programming time for me.......PLEASE!! (otherwise, I'm going to be spending more unproductive time combing the net looking for video) 

Go get a $149.00 flip camera over at Amazon (Jon and I each just got one) and get busy making some great videos!!! who knows, maybe we'll have a really cool video editing software available in the near future...............
