Hi Brian, I was happy to hear about the drop this week.  We need to keep those first timers buying to produce the snowball effect.

I noticed you commented on a featured post today about agents getting fired over Facebook.  I was wondering if you might do a post about that from a Canadian perspective.

I know our board is just toying now with how to deal with inappropriate use of our board listings.  I know it's a different topic but some "professional" salespeople have been scraping our board mls data and offering it up on their websites.

I've never heard of anyone getting fired from abusing listings or whatever on Facebook.  Have you? What is your take on how brokerages are handling what their agents are doing in cyberspace?

So....do ya think you can come up with something to post about this???

Jenny,

Could you post a link to the Facebook blog?

I may have to do a little research about this topic.

Hi Brian, it was actually a post here on AR but it was about getting fired for posting on Facebook.

Here is the link.  That post has garnered 260 comments so far.  Kind of strange I think because the writer doesn't give specific info as to the firing. 

And the writer hasn't even replied to comments since the first few were made.  I'd be interested on your thoughts.
