How did you find DoodleKisses?

[Natasha]

Hi everyone,

Full disclosure, I am really interested, personally, in how you found DoodleKisses as I think it's a fun topic and helps us all get to know each other better.  But, I'm also asking because I'm starting a new company (more details later I'm sure) that will, in the first 6 months, rely heavily upon locating influential people (women primarily) on social media sites who like to help people and tend to forward things (helpful and valuable things - not time wasters) to others who then take action.

Sorry I can't go into full detail on what I'm talking about - I will at some point.

Anyway - what made you seek DoodleKisses? Did you join any other doodle/dog forums prior? after? Do you participate in other forums? How many?

I will respond later - don't want to bias anyone.

Thanks!

While I was waiting for Peri to come home, her breeder sent me the link and invited me to join.
Only other social forum would be facebook, I guess.

From another forum Doodle Zoo. I think Adina posted there about the "new" site.

How did you find Doodle Zoo?

[AndySharon BoomerShaynaMariner]

I found Doodle Zoo by way of Ann's Doodle Chat - a small forum that many of Boomer and Mariner's siblings' owners were active on. Ann's Doodle Chat was suggested by the person that recommended Boomer and Mariner's breeder.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Same for me. And then I got an invitation from Adina. I knew of the Zoo site because I was an IDOG volunteer and was told about it by one of the IDOG directors.
I participate in three forums on a regular basis, one of which is our DRC site. I "lurk" in a few others.

I won't be very helpful, from on online standpoint! Judi (of Judi, Dan, and Timbow) told me about it at the dog park (and thank goodness she did!)

[Natasha]

Actually, I think that most people who participate actively in a forum about a topic that they are passionate about (I mean, not a generic forum but one that is very focused) came to the forum because someone in the real world told them about it. I guess that makes sense because you are probably "practicing what you preach" (like, enjoying your time with your dog at the dog park) when someone recommends a place where you can find more people who share your interest.

So, Fannie, you're right on target!

[Melissa, Samson & Shelby]

I was on another forum "Doodle Zoo" and saw the information about Doodlekissed from Adina. I think the breeder might have mentioned it as well.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I was frantically Googling for information and help with Tara's grooming issues and DK came up on a search!!! Heaven!! No other social forums before or after.

[Candy & Hudson]

This is how I came across it also! I don't remember what I was searching but I searched EVERYTHING related to doodles while waiting for Hudson! I was soo excited to find DK, hubby not so much haha

[Candy & Hudson]

oh and I use facebook also but prefer DK :)

[HeatherA]

I found DoodleKisses when I was reading a Goldendoodle group on Facebook. Someone mentioned DK -- so I went to find out what it was. I am an internet junky. I have several forums that I am active in some I do more reading, others more posting, some have large communities, some have small. (A deal message forum that discusses great bargains, two or three different sites for Moms to share advice/tips and vent, a photography forum, etc.)

One of my first "online" computing experiences was posting on BBS'es in the 90s.. :) Old school!
