Market Leader was the owner of IMSD. As such, it ended up being owned by Zillow. Zillow transferred ownership of the content to a third party. Ben is currently negotiating to get ownership of IMSD back. We just talked about this on Thursday of last week. We'd love to be able to build on the content that was part of that program. In a perfect world that will happen.

I really enjoyed that course and was wondering this same thing myself. Bob Stewart has the answer in his comment.

Wasn't that Ben Kinney's company? If so, contact someone at AR as Ben owns 'us' now & a few other things.

I haven't heard of it. Was it similar to E-Pro?

Hi

I just sent a message to Ben Kinney and he replied that he is negotiating to get IMSD back. I hold the IMSD Certification. Hope that helps. Patty Ballard

IMSD sort of disappeared. I was a member at one point... found its usefulness somewhat limited. But would relook if it came back.

Never heard of it.  Just take Hootsuite's free training and certify yourself (or pay $200 for their certification).

I believe that is still owned by Ben Kinney ... the person who purchased ActiveRain.

Sounds like it may now be an orphaned system.

Maybe Bob Stewart knows.  I had been thinking of joining either IMSD or another training last year.  I decided on the other.

I thought someone on activerain might know since Ben Kinney - the creator of active rain - is also the creator of IMSD.
