Imagine
Popularity: 20%
When we hit the unexpected bumps in the road, when times are tough, when it is hard to see a day down the road, never mind a year, we imagine our vision and it brings us back. It is what started cre8Buzz and it is what keeps us goin’ . . . so we thought we’d share it with ya.
Imagine a cre8Buzz when there are 1 million people on it. Imagine a wine community with 5 thousand active buzzers, imagine a music community with 10 thousand active buzzers, imagine a Real Estate community with 8 thousand buzzers, imagine a writers community with 5 thousand buzzers, bmx with 9 thousand, hikers with 2 thousand, sailing with 6 thousand, cooks with 12 thousand; imagine moms and dads with 15 thousand; imagine all of the varied cre8Buzz communities with thousands of buzzers teaming with activity and life. Can you see it, can you see how thumpin’ the buzz would be.
Now, go deeper, imagine ya havin’ a dinner party and want to know the best wine to serve. Imagine ya thinkin’ about goin’ on vacation in Colorado and ya wanna know about the best hiking trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. Imagine ya lookin’ at sellin’ a new house in a down market (sound familiar?). Imagine ya have a hot date and ya wanna impress with a slammin’ home-cooked meal. Imagine ya wanna find the coolest new jazz artist. Imagine ya want some advice on how to get ya kid to eat more than chicken nuggets. Imagine; imagine how easy all of this would be with 1 million people on the Buzz, with hundreds of full, active, engaged communities. Imagine how friendly and easy it would be to just cross-buzz into a community and get the 411 you need. Imagine what it would be like to have all types of information one community away, one ask the group question, one friendship, one comment, one message, one online interaction away.
Can you see it? Can you see how powerful the Buzz would be?
Now imagine you are a Realtor. Imagine you are a cook. Imagine you are an aspiring Jazz artist. Imagine you are a wine connoisseur. Imagine you are writer. Imagine what it would mean to you, to your business, to your writing, to your music; to be well respected, highly ranked, highly regarded on cre8Buzz? Imagine it is you the Realtor that offers advice on selling a home in a down market. Imagine it is you, the wine connoisseur that recommends the perfect Syrah for dinner. Imagine it is you, the aspiring Jazz Artist that provides the music for the special dinner. Imagine it is you, the cook, that provides the “to die for” crème-brulee for desert. Imagine!
The Buzz has mad potential; the Buzz can change how information is shared. The Buzz can change how information is collected. The Buzz can change how people interact. The Buzz can change how people and ideas are found. Is there value? Is it worth ya time being early? Is it worth being the first in a community? Is it worth visiting everyday to make new friends? Is it worth putting up new content when ya only get two visits a day? Is cre8Buzz worth it with all the MySpaces, Active Rains, Facebooks, Dogsters, Flikrs, Beebo’s out there. We say yes . . . if you can IMAGINE!

I see it! And I’ll keep Buzz’n until everyone else does too! 
Comment from Wes Wyatt on December 14, 2007, 12:31 am
people still log on to myspace and bebo??????
cre8buzz has a nice blend of personalization … thoughtful profiles … excellent blogs … creative people.
most other places have a bunch of … forgive me for saying so, a bunch of crap that amounts to nothing much at all. i like the blend here. i like the blend of thought and creativity that let’s us be us. i like how most people do not randomly friend everyone they see (which means they’ve really friended no one).
i can imagine a lot for cre8buzz … can you?

I love the buzz. The people here are the best, and your vision is amazing. I hadn’t even thought about the amount of information we can share here.
Fantastic.

I’m still a relative newbie on here, but I think this is a wonderful community y’all have created for us, and I’m already seeing the benefits!
Cheers to a bigger, brighter, buzzin’ future!
Comment from Rachel on December 14, 2007, 6:22 am
I am very new here too and I have to say it is my favorite place to visit! I am along for the ride with you!

The ‘Buzz has MAD potential! WORD!!
I feel it, I know it, I believe it, I’m in it!
BUZZTASTIC WORLD WIDE BABY!
Comment from Piper of Love on December 14, 2007, 7:35 am
Coming here has been a revelation - a refreshing change after MySpace etc. Here people actually DO connect and it means something!
Since coming here, I have pretty much made this my home base - I love the exchange of ideas and the ‘genuine’ness’ of it!
Lookin’ forward to buzzin’ into the future with y’all!
Comment from Trish on December 14, 2007, 7:39 am
I can totally see it. cre8buzz rocks!
Comment from Tom Plant on December 14, 2007, 8:25 am
Well said! I can imagine all of that and more. The Buzz is a great place to be.
Comment from Quirkee James on December 14, 2007, 8:28 am
Looking forward to seeing the successes and the vision become reality! 
Comment from Brad Andersohn on December 14, 2007, 8:53 am
I love the Buzz. I was invited to check it out by a mutual blogging buddy aka Queenie and the invite came at the right time. I had grown tired of community drama, the immature antics of MySpace and basically had written off Facebook ages ago.
The Buzz is the ticket. Blogging, networking, solid communities of really great people have convinced me that this is where I choose to be. I’ve got enough to do with my blog and my photography site, Cre8buzz helps me keep in touch without making it a job.
Thanks!
Comment from Betz on December 14, 2007, 8:55 am
You have my vote. Cr8buzz is the best! Thanks for all your hard work…
Comment from Michelle York/umauma on December 14, 2007, 9:42 am
Yes, I do think it is worth a little time invested now. My dream is to be able to help others through my writing, to be a positive influence. Thanks Cre8buzz for helping me do that!
Comment from Terri Clark on December 14, 2007, 9:42 am
I am DOWN with the Buzz!! This is the best community site I have ever been a part of. Everything from the layout to the way the system works to, of course, the people. You know why it works? Because is actually IS a community. I would love to have my fellow dad and mom bloggers as real-life neighbors (we’d never get anything constructive done, but we’d have such a great time). I feel at home here, and If I’m not checking the buzz on a regular basis, I feel disconnected. How’s that for commitment! Keep doing what you’re doing. Your vision is spot on. I’m honored to be a part of it.
Comment from BusyDad on December 14, 2007, 9:52 am
The way to go that’s for sure !
Comment from Minz on December 14, 2007, 10:45 am
I have the vision…I see the vision…and you know what… I am right with you guys…I believed in you from day one and I will continue to do so….Cre8buzz is very unique and I enjoy it. It will grow…and I plan on growing right with you!

You should have the Beatles playing in the background on this one. Great post.
Comment from wornoutwoman on December 14, 2007, 12:23 pm
Well said! I was a real skeptic coming into cre8Buzz and I can safely say I thoroughly enjoy the community. I wish there were more hours in the day so I wouldn’t feel guilty about the time I already spend on the site. Who am I kidding? More hours would mean more buzzing!
Best of luck to you and all of us in making the vision a reality.
Comment from Chuck on December 14, 2007, 2:41 pm
Incredibly inspiring post! You guys have done so much to give us this place we call home. It’s up to us now to make your vision a reality. Looking forward to the meeting next week.
Comment from Suburban Oblivion on December 14, 2007, 6:01 pm
I have never been involved in a social networking sight ever. I have to say this place is addicting. I agree, there are not enough hours in the day-i wish i had more time to spend here. The people are amazing! Can’t wait to watch the Buzz grow!!!!!!!
Comment from modlmama on December 14, 2007, 6:16 pm
It’s good for everyone to KNOW the “WHY” of what we do and what we want to do. I am glad to see the Buzz grow, grow, grow.
Comment from Chris Bohn on December 14, 2007, 7:02 pm
To me, the Buzz really does feel more like a community than a network. It’s like a gathering of friends who want to spend time together, not a conference cocktail party where colleagues distribute business cards. Members are supportive and encouraging and have so much to say (that we all like to hear, debate and discuss). It really is addictive! I spend more time here than anywhere else on the web.
Great vision and great job making this community what it is!
Comment from bmgmom on December 14, 2007, 8:52 pm
Well, your vision is awesome..I can actually imagine it happening and with time, patience and hard work I am sure it will come true.
I love being a part of the Buzz and as far as facebook and myspace,well,the Buzz is in a totally different league…!
I have supported the Buzz from the time I joined and shall continue to support this community and the team behind it all…in any way possible.I have already blogged about the Buzz at http://bloggingden.blogspot.com/2007/12/creating-buzz-for-yourself.html
and the same article at:http://jesseblogs.blogspot.com/2007/11/create-your-own-buzz.html
..Hey,perhaps I should blog about this vision of yours in an upcoming blog post. That would be super cool !
I also joined in and voted for you guys recently…hope to be doing more voting next week at Mashable!!Glad to hear that things over there are being sorted out.
I support you guys simply because I know that this community is awesome…and the more people who know about it, the more exposure for the community.
I Hope to watch the Buzz grow and become one of the most amazing communities ever ! Hey, but to me it already is
Comment from JesseTheCat on December 15, 2007, 12:25 am
I can only imagine with this great vision you have and the one you have given us that this will be the Buzz and I’m glad to say I’m apart of it. Thank you!
Comment from Julie on December 15, 2007, 8:18 am
I hear ya A-man.
Comment from Coop on December 15, 2007, 11:40 am
Wow. Now that’s a vision. Thanks for sharing it with us. I’ve told a lot of people about Cre8buzz, but it’s been hard getting the community going. I wondered if everyone just saw it as another social networking site. But when you put it like this, it brings things in perspective and allows us to see the full potential.
I’ve actually been using it in the manner you described above. I’m getting into photography and I’ve been using them to get tips and pointers on how to get better. I’ve even gotten some potty training advice for my kid in the moms community. The hard part is finding the time to stay involved.
Great vision though.
Comment from Theo J. on December 15, 2007, 3:53 pm
Nice place to kick my feet up with friends. Thanks for the warm welcome.
Comment from Lizette on December 15, 2007, 7:56 pm
I can see it! We are a part of “it’! Thanks for the inspirational message and casting the vision!
Keep the ideas flowing as we are riding it together.
Comment from Kat on December 16, 2007, 2:16 pm
That’s why I’m here not over there…. The vision makes sense..heck you have a vision. I am affraid to hear what My Space’s vision is..Yikes let’s not go there! Great vision, team, truly amazing
Comment from Nesting Momma on December 16, 2007, 6:33 pm
Definitely worth my time. I’m loving it here. Great vision!
Comment from Annette on December 17, 2007, 11:49 am
I love it here. I am a proud member of the buzz.

The imagination is a key to a successful anything! If Walt Disney had left his imagination to squander we would have no Disneyland or Disneyworld, one of my favorite places on earth!
Comment from Katerina on December 17, 2007, 2:07 pm
Thanks for having this vision and being bold enough to move on it. I love it!
