A couple weeks ago I wrote a post about the Top 50 Teams and their contributions to the blogosphere.  A new list of the Top 25 Power Teams according to RISMedia and Real Estate Magazine.  These 25 teams were selected because of, amoung other things, their "innovative marketing and management skills".  Several of the team made both lists but their are a lot of teams that were not on LORE Magazine list

When asked by RISMedia what contributed to the success of their teams only one agent made any mention of technology, no one mentioned anything regarding the internet or blogging.  Direct mail, referrals, Brian Buffini, newspaper ads, radio ads, team building excersises, mentoring were all mentioned.

With no mention of blogging and only one team even attempting to blog out of close to 70 industry recognized team, what does that mean for blogging?  Where does it fit in?  Are we so far ahead that we aren't even seen?  Is it just a passing fad?  Will it ever replace the "old school" marketing tools?  Will it just be another arrow in an agents quiver?

What do you think?

Not really knocking RIS Media but,

Most of their articles and website posts are puff piece articles about companies that advertise in the print edition. The rest are written by "consultants" that have a course or mentoring or coaching program to sell.

The only really "original" stuff there is newsy articles.

Thanks for that bit of insight.  I don't really read their stuff but I saw this list and it caught my eye.
