You may be surprised that this post isnt going to be around Twitter's downtime. If you are … (34 comments)

Interesting Blogging & Search Engine Statistics - 05/16/2008 10:02 AM
Here are some fun search engine and blogging statistics I pulled up. I like doing this about once a year to see what is going on in the search space to see if there are any trends I’m missing. Plus, it’s just really interesting data to look at. Most comes from … (16 comments)

ActiveRain has hit a Ceiling? - 05/16/2008 09:52 AM
Let's start with this:  I love ActiveRain.  Lately, however, I have felt that ActiveRain may have hit a ceiling.  I felt affirmed in my thoughts when Jonathon Washburn posted How can ActiveRain be more than itself?  In my opinion he's basically saying "where do we go from here."
Initially I thought the … (57 comments)

Who is your Wing Man? - 05/15/2008 10:36 PM
It amazes me in real estate how much we are "counted" on for the other things to make things happen. As a client and professional team up in a trusting relationship, clients want to know about other services like cleaning people, pool service, inspectors, Home Warranty, etc.
You have in essence … (54 comments)

What Do You Expect? - 05/15/2008 10:34 PM
I have a quote framed on my desk, and while I can't say it's my favorite quote (there are far too many wonderful ones out there to ever be able to narrow it down) it is the one in which I believe the most passionately.
 "An individual seldom exceeds his own … (45 comments)

How To Get People To Comment On Your AR Blog - 05/15/2008 10:32 PM
Well, I'm back to reading again. I got my hands on a great blogging book. Such a nerd, I am. I've been trying to find some information on how to pull people into your blog and leave those cute little things we call "comments". So here is the run down on … (61 comments)

Simple Reason Why BANKS Won't Speed up Short Sales - 05/15/2008 10:31 PM

I have been buying and selling distressed properties for a long time. We used to call the short sales a different name. They used to be called "Work Out Properties".
We used to be able to get a list from a local banker and we would have a short appointment … (41 comments)

How To Make Your Post Featured Every Time - 05/15/2008 01:39 PM

Here are the Three Quality Tests you could apply to help you with your content.  The ideas … (74 comments)

Me.Dium May Be A Perfect Fit - 05/15/2008 01:36 PM
I stumbled upon a social browsing site that immediately caught my eye - it's called Me.Dium.
What is Me.Dium? By their own definition, "Me.dium is a social browsing software company offering a browser extension that allows people to surf with friends." Me.Dium was founded in 2006 and is compatible with a … (35 comments)

In Defense of FSBO's - 05/15/2008 01:34 PM
After two posts about my daughter's failed purchase of a FSBO property and LOTS of comments to those posts over the past few days, I feel a need to come to the defense of FSBO's.  Someone has to play devil's advocate, and I started this conversation - so why not me. 
By way of … (42 comments)
