As a sign designer, I'm often asked for suggestions of good sign colors. I answer with a question: what colors do the large independent real estate companies in your area use? Avoid those. Stay clear of colors used by the franchises. Go for unique. Color is a huge factor in how memorable your yard signs are to buyers.

Here's my favs:
The Social Web Browser. Flock integrates well with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, You Tube, Picassa and web mail. It has a built in RSS reader, media stream viewer and blogging tools. Flock is built using the Firefox framework, so any FF extensions will work in Flock. Read more in my blog.

Facebook account disabled for having too many Realtor friends. - 08/03/09 02:40 PM
On Friday, July 24, 2009, Real Estate industry veteran Jim Calabrese got booted from Facebook. His crime? Having too many friends, specifically friends that share a similar physical characteristics (real estate).
We enjoyed being in Jim's network. His posts were relevant and informative. He is certainly not a spammer and deserves to get his Facebook account back.
