Your time may help me make some key decisions about what to prioritize next. There are some competing ideas, and I just don’t know which are the most relevant, and worth fighting for. </div><div><br></div><div><div>I keep thinking that if TripAdvisor can generate so much information for strangers helping each other with hotels and restaurants, well imagine what green builders can do to help each other and newcomers to sustainable building products and services. Like this group does for each other, but I also hope to mix experts and newcomers and residential and commercial folks under a pretty wide umbrella and across the globe, as you may know. I’d like to get a sense if this ability to validate (which does require time set aside for the input) and share experiences is something the green building community really wants and can prioritize, or are there other features and functions that can be more impactful? </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!!</div><div>Allison</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div><div style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><br><br><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Allison Friedman</span><br><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Rate It Green<br><a href="http://www.rateitgreen.com">www.rateitgreen.com</a><br>@rateitgreen</span></font></div><div style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 12px;">@MAGreenbuilding<br></span></font></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Rate It Green is a directory, network, and information resource for the green building industry. </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Through client reviews, testimonials, and candid conversations, Rate It Green helps individuals and companies find green building products and services, while also helping product manufacturers and service providers reach new clients. </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Rate It Green welcomes all green builders, from beginners to seasoned experts, and for both residential and commercial projects.
