Let's Get Ready To Rumble-VARBuzz Blog Brawl

VARBUZZ BRAWL Alright folks it is time to pull out all the stops. The Virginia Association of Realtors® Director of Communications & New Media and major blog supporter, Ben Martin has created a little bit of a contest among bloggers across the country to participate in a little blogging brawl. Good old fashioned match of wits and determination.

Now I noticed that Brian Block is offering free booze for votes. I'm checking to see this is a possible RESPA Violation and certainly I'm sure this is violation of Virginia liquior laws so we might be watching him blog from jail in the future. Just kidding Brian!

So if you are curious about this little contest you can check it out on VARBUZZ and see all of the great blogs that were nominated to participate in this contest. If you are inclined to vote for one of my blogs I'd love to make it through the first round.

My nominated blogs for this round are in Zone 2 #4 vs #13
www.varealestatetalk.com

Zone 4 #4 vs #13
www.activerain.com/blogs/cijones52

Only one vote per IP address so no "ballot stuffing" from one computer. You are encouraged to run around the neighborhood and login from any other computers you can find. Stop by the Parking Lot when you are done and leave your feedback about the contest and VAR for being one of the few associations that are openly encourages the use of blogging and social media among Realtors®.

If I make it to round two then we will start talking about the inducements that I'm going to offer. I hear that points are a popular item???

Cindy, you already got my votes. What a cool idea that VAR had come up with here. It's a fun and friendly competition and gives everyone's blogs a bit more exposure and "link love."
