forecast: The 2011 BHAG MeMe - 01/10/11 12:00 PM
There's probably a MeMe going around the Rain somewhere - but I didn't see it, haven't been tagged lately, and I wanted to start a new one anyway!
So here's The 2011 BHAG MeMe!
2011 is going to be a year of going big or going home!  I am making BIG plans, and I'll bet many of my friends on Activerain are too! 
Here's the MeMe Rules (please paste the following paragraph into your post as you are tagged)

forecast: Is Your Brokerage Keeping Up With Social Media? - 12/30/10 11:39 AM
 
Todd Carpenter sent an update out today about REBarCamps.  It made me think about how many I've been to... and how few BICs Ive seen at them!  Mortgage Leaders and Real Estate Leaders who are NOT connected and don't get it are going to be left further and further behind in 2011.  That's my Prediction!

Paul Krugman says be SKEPTICAL of the new ideas regarding Troubled Assets (mortgages)!!

This is just too good to be missed!

Via Matt Heaton (Timu Corp - CEO, ActiveRain - Co-founder):
