generation x: Gen X and the internet - 08/14/08 01:48 PM
In my giant purse I carry the essentials: wallet, credit cards, lip gloss, iPod, Blackberry and digital camera.
It might seem strange that technology is essential enough to bring with me everywhere I go, but to me…it's just something that everybody does. Technology is part of my lifestyle and how I

generation x: Where's Waldo? According to Google Earth, He's in Vancouver. - 08/06/08 04:50 PM
When summer rolled around, some kids climbed trees, some went to the pool, and others, like myself sat at home and found Waldo on every page of the "Where's Waldo?" book series. That being said, when I recently heard about a larger than life "Where's Waldo?" project spearheaded by Canadian native

generation x: A Great Mix of Generations on ActiveRain - 06/01/08 03:09 PM
Recently, I read a Realtor's meme; the time in history in which she would have liked to have lived is a time during which I did live. Admittedly, I felt a bit mature, but at the same time, it was kind of flattering that a young person would find my historical

generation x: Steve Friedman - Recruit, Recruit, Recruit - 05/09/08 11:52 AM
The highlight of the morning sessions was Steve Friedman. He dropped knowledge on how to recruit and manage offices effectively. He challenged conventional thought and encouraged the room full of owners, and managers to view recruiting differently. He discussed everything from prospecting to on-boarding/coaching/business planning.
Additionally, Steve stressed the importance of

generation x: It's Been Breached. Now What? - 04/26/08 09:01 AM
It’s official. Fo’ bucks. Some economists (I can’t remember which - there are so many) predicted that the $4 mark would be the tipping point. “What do you a call an economist with a prediction?” “Wrong.” I couldn’t agree more with that statement (not the “joke”). This is definitely

generation x: Why Generation "Y" ? - 04/02/08 06:47 PM
I just had to share a copy of this and pass it on, as it was in my email from a fellow collegue and I thought it explained the different generations by age group that we have to learn and know how to best sell to each generation. Apparently a caricaturist from

generation x: We are not that different. - 03/21/08 03:30 PM
In many of the marketing propaganda that we read today, you can usually find a reference or article regarding the "new consumer," (Baby boomers, Gen x'er, Gen Y'ers....) their changing habits and how to work with this new generation of buyers. There are plenty of articles and columns with advice, predictions on

As we are getting ready to upgrade our current website from the dark ages, I have been looking into sites that I feel have it right. www.RealLiving.com is an example of this. First of all, immediately when I enter their home page it speaks "gen x" and "millenial". If you don't

generation x: Stop Griping about REDFIN - let's start educating - 05/17/07 07:07 AM
Admittedly the Redfin piece by 60 minutes was biased and one-sided. I stewed about it for a couple of days. I am not fearful of Redfin, however. The reality is that like traditional real estate agents and brokers -- Redfin is taking advantage of a niche buyer. If you want that niche
