A Happy New Year - Make That Your Priority and Resolution - 12/30/10 02:36 PM
To all my friends and family here at ActiveRain,
One of the things that really makes each year so special is that I am so blessed to have some of the best relationships and get to be associated with some of the best people on the planet earth... YOU!
As 2010 comes to a close, I want to personally take a moment to say "thank you" for your business and your valued friendships.  I will never take them for granted.  It's very rewarding and comforting to reflect on the continued trust and support you have placed in myself and my companies. … (23 comments)

Interactive Youtube Video - Technology That Makes You Play & Think - 12/27/10 01:02 PM
This is one of the first interactive videos on Youtube, so what's next?
Here's an interactive video on Youtube that allows the viewer to play the piano and control the guitar player.  My first thought was, "How did they do this?" My second thought was, "What song shall I play?"  But my third thought was, "How can this cool video technology be used in our business, or any business for that matter?"  This may seem a bit far-fetched but if someone can assign the keys on your computer keyboard to do specific functions in their video, imagine the possibilities of how … (54 comments)

WEEKend FUNfact - He Was The First One To.... - 12/18/10 01:43 PM
Post a video up on Youtube!  It's true, this weekend's fun fact is brought to you by my son Brandon, it's the very first video ever posted on Youtube.  What I found even more interesting is that Brandon went back to the very first comments to see what they said....


@Zyrexoid - you should have bought stock!
This got me to thinking...  Do you know who posted the first blog post on ActiveRain, or who had the very first listing on Zillow?  What lucky person was the first to add a photo to Flickr, or even better yet, who … (43 comments)

It's Not About Your Company - It's ALL About Your People - 12/13/10 10:36 AM
We just returned home from Seattle, WA where my wife and I spent 3 days and two nights at the Hotel 1000, a spectacular retro/modern hotel and spa located downtown.  We were invited to attend the Zillow Company Holiday party and I was fortunate to also attend my first Z-talk (a company meeting) which is like a state-of-the-division conference.  Man, what a diverse and intelligent group of people. 
There were folks from Seattle, Iowa, Idaho, Chicago, SF and NY.... it was awesome!
I really had no idea how many people worked behind the scenes for Zillow until this past week. WOW!

Zillow’s New Agent Rating and Endorsement Tool
Today, Zillow launched the ability for consumers to review real estate agents they’ve worked with in the past. Millions of home shoppers visit Zillow every month, and many of them have not yet found a real estate agent to help them buy or sell their home.
