media: Snarkaluffagus Anonimitous... Back Noise - 10/01/09 08:54 AM
While at New Media Atlanta last week I was introduced to a new tool toy. BackNoise. I think the easiest ways to describe it are as follows...
Back Noise: baak_noiz, 1. Useful tool to gauge reactions to speakers or other aspects of an event, allowing event participants to freely exchange information … (7 comments)

USA Today had a story recently about suburbs... It is an interesting read. It would have been interesting to see the direction that the growth would have gone if we hadn't had a financial system meltdown and real estate bubble burst...
Gwinnett has a … (0 comments)

media: We get what we ask for... - 07/11/09 05:00 PM
So, you don't like the media? Do you think that they are a bunch of sensationalistic moonbats that don't have any "real news", just a bunch of meaningless crap about Michael Jackson's funeral, car chases and the newest reason that everyone is going to die from cancer? Do you wonder why … (7 comments)

I just got an email from the production company that does House Hunters for HGTV. They are calling for buyers that are ready to buy. The specific quote is "in the late stages of buying." I would assume that would mean that they are looking for people … (2 comments)

media: How well are my predictions doing? - 04/17/09 11:02 AM
While wandering through some old posts I ran across one of my prediction posts.
Lane's Top Ten Underdogs for 2009
It was interesting to look over. And I thought it might be fun to take a look at how I am doing on it so far...

media: I just don't get it... - 04/17/09 10:32 AM
I wrote two posts yesterday... I expected the second one to get a few comments, and it did... after all, it was about a pretty cool guy that I had the opportunity to interact with a few times.
But the first post from yesterday is the one that surprised me. I … (16 comments)

media: What is the purpose of Social Network Marketing? - 04/16/09 09:21 PM
We are all doing it. That is the purpose we share here on Active|Rain... marketing through social networking channels.
Of course, some have taken it well beyond blogging on A|R and have included Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Trulia, Zillow, Flickr, Blip.fm... and a million other sites and communities.
But the same question … (6 comments)

media: Thank you all... - 02/02/09 11:22 PM
It has been pretty busy here the last couple of days.
The AJC (Atlanta Journal - Constitution) did a feature on me in the business section Sunday. The online version actually was visible on Friday, and I started getting emails and tweets and messages on FaceBook from folks around the country … (12 comments)

Today was the day I had to pose for picture for the Atlanta Journal Constitution for the profile that will be in the Business section (I don't know the date yet).
Instead of getting a boring picture behind a desk in the office I hardly ever visit, I thought it … (7 comments)

media: Active|Rain, what have you done for me lately? - 01/24/09 09:54 PM
Friday morning, and my cell phone rings just as I am getting ready to take my son to school. Nothing unusual there... But, it was the caller and the subject that I wasn't really expecting.
The caller was a reporter from the AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution) that I have talked with … (13 comments)

I love a good "Top Ten" post... and I love underdogs. So, what could be better than a Top Ten post about the Underdogs for the new year. Wow, that even tosses in the "New Yew's Prediction Post".
So, without further delay, here are my
Top Ten Underdogs for 2009

have been noticing something.
Joe the Plumber SCARED Barack Obama...
Now, I'm sure that Obama wasn't frightened as he stood there and talked with Joe... but have you noticed that since that appearance, Obama has not wandered around in places where people might answer unscripted questions? That was the last time … (22 comments)

I was talking with one of my mortgage brokers today... We are planning on doing a few podcasts, and he is a pretty cool guy, so we like to jabber every once in a while anyway. But there were a couple of things that Ken said to me as I was … (0 comments)

[rant on]
Ugly trucks with big dish thingies on top... And they make news companies do three things:
Incredible stories from amazing locations that are insightfully relevant to the story.
Pointless live remotes that add nothing to the story.
Completely stupid remotes that seem designed just to justify the cost fo … (7 comments)

media: Obama v. McCain... hilarious v. rave - 09/13/08 07:15 PM
I know that it isn't politically correct, but Jon Stewart thought it was funny enough for the Daily Show. And I thought that Bill Mahr wanted to be Politically Incorrect... oh, that's right, he just wants to be canceled... and a hack.
I hope you were able to set aside … (12 comments)

I have had the various news channels playing in the background for a large part of the last 24 hours. Occasionally watching, sometimes listening... often ignoring. And I have noticed something humorous...
The politicians can't get a word in edgewise...

Wow. I don't know what else to say, but... Wow.
Back around the end of June, I found out that the Fox 5 iTeam wanted to shoot a segment in one of my listings, 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee. At first I only knew that it was about home managers and … (19 comments)

Let's hammer on the NAR some more.
All real estate is local
The NAR has been pounding this message in response to the perceived unfairness of media reporting. And while there is a case to be made that the media isn't presenting a balanced picture, I don't know if the current … (9 comments)

And it wasn't a bad thing.
The story won't air until next month (July), but they were filming in one of my listings. Specifically, they were showing a property that was staged with a live-in home manager. Showhomes of Atlanta is the vendor that is doing the job correctly in this … (12 comments)

In the Gwinnett edition of the AJC there was a story about the state of the real estate industry. The reporter called me a few times to help him with the story. I was happy to help. I wrote a post about that not long ago.
