A few days ago Active Rainer Jim Lee shared a few word clouds he created on wordle.net... I couldn't resist and had to play with a few of my blogs to see what they'd look like...
In social media we use the term ubiquity to describe a philosophy of online involvement. We accomplish visibility and opportunity by participating in a wide array of communities and conversation.
Stormy fronts moved in yesterday afternoon, but the action really gets started just before the sun was about to set. We're looking west from my deck over Renton, Washington. I love the moody skies this time of year. The colors are great with the yellow and red leaves to these dark clouds highlighted with the sun low before it sets over the hills. Soon it will be shades of mostly gray...

Google announced real estate on Google Maps this morning...
In Google Maps type a "city state" and/or a "zip code". Just to the right of the "Search Maps" button,
click "show search options" and select real estate in the drop down...
You can search homes for sale, rentals, and foreclosures. Filter your results by price range, bedrooms, and building square feet. This comes with all the usual Google Map functions like pop-up pictures with links to the listing source.
This will certainly bring a larger audience and exposure to your local real estate market...
Taking our
conversation online
led to opportunity, collaboration, and friendship.
My good friend and co-worker Matt Sweet wrote a blog here on Active
Rain last January about Vyew.com.
We discovered this great web
conferencing application back in September of 2008. Since then
we use it
regularly for meetings of every kind.
We hold marketing meetings and training sessions with our
Ticor Reps across Washington and Oregon. We join in virtually
for presentations and meetings with clients. It's also a great
collaboration tool. Matt and I use it all the time when we're
working on a project and are physically in different locations.
After the post, Matt did a few tweets and included one
to drive some traffic to his new blog entry.
Meri Walker, The Virtual Meeting Coach, happened to see that tweet and
followed the link to Matt's blog. Long story short, she was fascinated
about why a couple of 'title'
guys up in the Pacific Northwest would use
this web app and called Matt.
One thing led to another and soon we were collaborating on a 3
part
web interview with
Meri Walker (theVirtualMeetinCoach),
and her friend Tom
Carroll (RadioNLP)aka:
The Learning Guy. We all had
a wonderful time putting these shows together and learned alot
from each other. Through this project we shared visions of the
future, humanity, technology, and possibility.

Since then we've realized many more ways to collaborate and
have
enjoyed numerous other people joining in with us who share
their endeavors, their passion, friendship, and business
opportunites.
Vyew.com as I see it is a very efficient way to save time and
money. As a Realtor, it's a great way to conference with out
of town buyers that want a
property presentation.
We met with Meri Walker in Ashland, Oregon 10/21/2009. She spent some
time coaching our sales and marketing staff about
holding virtual meetings. Meri's written a great little book titled, "The Coach's Short List."
It's a wonderful tutorial on how to plan and manage successful
virtual meetings.
None of this would have happened if Matt had decided not to write
his blog about Vyew.com
and follow up with a tweet.
