Comes close to describing some of the attendees...and I sure like the sound of it! Yesterday a large group of real estate bloggers met at the Internet Relevance presentation in Long Beach, CA to hear Dustin Luther (left), founder of Rain City Guide, speak about the intricacies and benefits of  real estate blogging. And speak he did, at about the speed of a machine gun going full blast! There are times I wish I had studied shorthand or court reporting; hence, my notes are spotty in a number of places.

Attending this presentation were the esteemed Rudolph Bachraty (pictured with perched glasses) of  New York-based Sellsius Real Estate; Brian Brady, America's Most Opinionated Mortgage Broker; a couple of  Active Rain's lovely co-founders, Jon and Sara Washburn; the personable Loren Nason of The Future of Real Estate Technology;  Jeff Dowler, a blogging Encinitas, CA Realtor, and Jeff Turner with Real Estate Shows. There were other bloggers I would have loved to meet, but we were forced to leave early for a San Diego Realtors lockbox exchange at Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Dustin shared lots of links and lots of stories. A few favorites?

Kayak.com (a travel site with very cool features; I am bookmarking!)

Google Reader (feed reader-check it out!)

Judy's Book (a great place to read and write reviews!)

In the rush to leave San Diego at dawn, I left the camera behind. These photos were stealthily lifted from Sellsius' Real Estate Blog. Kind permission to use was granted after the fact!
