technology: Everybody loves Glenn Kelman
- 11/04/11 08:50 AM
Or does everybody loves to hate Glenn Kelman of Redfin. ...or do they? I don't think they do. Dale Chumbley certainly is not a hater*... Dale was at an event the other day where Glenn Kelman, Stan Humphries of Zillow and some other guy I've never heard of were on a panel, about how real estate technology has changed the real estate industry. Do you have real living relationships with your clients? Dale Chumbley said what? Or laughed at something Glen Kelman said? from Geekwire.com 'Video: Redfin's Glenn Kelman is pissing people off again" "Kelman (to the audience): What’s so funny? Would you like … (2 comments)

Deadline to NOMINATE COLUMBUS is tomorrow Friday March 26, 2010 Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com. … (0 comments)

WOW the opportunities MapsAlive could offer on a blog or even a static website. Thanks to Cindy Jones for recommending this site. What a cool tool! I joined.

I don't want to squander any of the 10 free tours so this is one place I will figure out before I play around, unlike PollDaddy.com, Picnik.com or some of the other great places to use to add interesting content to blogs or websites. This … (0 comments)

OK I've got mine... and I have invitations. Is there anyone with Real Living who wants to try Google Wave? Let me know and I will send you an invite. Or are you with Real Living and have a Google Wave account? It felt like Christmas morning the day I opened my Gmail and the Google Wave invite was there.... but I have done nothing with it.

technology: Here comes another post about copyright...
- 12/13/07 05:57 PM
They said: "Blog, blog, blog it all. Won't you blog about this song." So I did... Here Comes Another Bubble on ActiveRain. You can't see the video there anymore. It is not on YouTube. It was funny. It was brilliant. It was the most viewed video on YouTube. I first read on Sellsius Real Estate Blog that YouTube had to take it down... YouTube Removes Parody over 1 Photo. Joe (I think this is Joe Ferrera) argues fair use. Miss the clever parody? *** You can still see the video on Valleywag... and Owen Thomas writes about why it was taken down in Here comes another takedown *** hmmmm … (22 comments)

This is taking dog training to extreme levels. On engadget.com this week Austrian Researchers train dogs to use computers.

technology: Do you say "Rooter" or "Router"?
- 10/27/07 10:02 PM
Rooter? Or router with the out pronounced owt? I am not that much of a geek but I get the song. It bothers me though that the singer says "rooter" not "router" with the out pronounced out as in the great outdoors. "Owt" not "oot" I worry that I may be mispronouncing it... mostly in my brain. It is not like I sit around and talk about routers and servers... but I am pretty sure when I have talked to the Real Living Help desk we were all saying routers not rooters (rhyming with Hooters, a dining establishment....) Router pronounced "rooter" also … (22 comments)
technology: Women shouldn't blog because.....
- 04/18/07 03:34 AM
Ladies and Gentlemen, Monday, a male agent in my office forwarded me some links to coverage of the Kathy Sierra story. For those who don't know tech blogger Kathy Sierra, she's shuttered a successful blog, Creating Passionate Users because of harassment and death threats. I've read Sierra's blog since last fall, although some of it is waaaay over my head. I hope Sierra will be back blogging soon. In March Sierra wrote: Death threats against bloggers are NOT "protected speech" The disturbing photos that were posted originally have been removed but there is language.... The agent in my office forwarded some links about the death threats to our manager. Tom (Active Rain member...Tom's never blogged.. that's OK...)in hopes he would forward the information to … (56 comments)
