Well, here it is in all it's glory....My very first Active Rain post from almost three years ago! Uh oh....Do not Blink...you might miss it.
From August 2009....
"I like the concepts of "Clouds" on Twitter. The top ten tools or things you are doing in your business is an interesting "Cloud." Here are mine:
FlipVideo, Fujitsu ScanSnap, Private Facebook Groups , Snag It, Buffini Pop Bys, Kindle, Twitter Hashtags #somdbrokeropen or #komenboardwalkathon or #somdhousetour MozyPro, Photodex, VSO Image Resizer, PDF Annotator"
Okay, that was the whole two sentences worth of my first Active Rain post.. I hope your mind did not wander.
Oh Boy.
I had to reread it a few times to understand and remember what I even meant.
I have been reading post suggestions on blogging ideas recently. It stood out to me the number of times rewriting an old post has been mentioned.
So I figured the beginning was a good place to start.
I kind of think my first post is beyond redemption. But for the heck of it, here are my top ten tools or products off the top of my head when you fast forward to today. I am not going to peep at the ten I picked way back then a blogging century ago.
TODAY...I REALLY like these Tech Tools as of Feb 2012....
Imagine a pretty cloud of this from Wordle....
IPAD ( gee, who would guess that?) apps,apps,apps, Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanner, Snagit, New Wordpress Blog, New IDX, NEW Mac Laptop ( no more Queen of Crash), Docusign, Evernote, Top Producer new Mobile 8i, and the iPhone. I guess I was a closet MAC Gal who now is kicking with Apple Products after that first iPAD bite of the Apple.

Good for you Cheryl, for going back and reflecting on your first post! Many people do not want to see the start of something out of embarrassment. However, I think it is really great to reflect upon where you started or came from, the journey you have taken thus far, and where you are now. It really shows growth, that's for sure!
Congratulations on three years on Active Rain. We've all come a long way since we started and everyday is a new opportunity to learn.
Cheryl, I still don't know some of your first favorites. Right now, it's hard keeping up with the old and adding the new.
Cheryl, you've come a long way baby! Look at all the tech stuff on your blog!
Cheryl, we all have to start somewhere, and those that KNEW to take classes (that there WERE classes) before writing their first were very lucky. Most all first blogs are scary to look back on!
You have learned so much and shared so much with so many of us. You are appreciated a great deal.
Margaret
Cheryl, Thank you for sharing your tech tips with us. I have not yet tried some of these tools but have bookmarked for later.
It is amazing what 3 years worth of technology has happened to us or for us. Can't wait to see what happens in the next 3 years.
Cheryl, you rock! Thank you for all you do to help us navigate our hi-tech world of real estate. Your first post is a classic!
