I have proof and confirmation that Rain gods, along with many other industry technology experts were in Atlanta, Georgia this week at RE Tech South!
Much of the value in any conference or seminar is in the personal contacts and connections made. I had the pleasure of meeting speakers Mary KcKnight, Pat Kitano, Dustin Luther and many more bloggers I had "met" online only.
Much of the initial information was basic and targeted to agents who didn't know yet what RSS, social media, Web 2.0, or any of the other jargon we casually throw around in the Rain is yet. I am pretty sure there will be some new AR members from the South soon, after a day packed full of great infomation.
What I really walked away impressed by was the fact that Brad Nix managed to pull this together in 16+- days, proving that viral marketing in a Web 2.0 world works with incredible response. The speaker talent pool was fantastic and the turnout was good with an interesting mixture of web experienced agents and web rookies.

It was great: to see Mary McKnight's passion in person; meet Project Blogger Alumni Kevin Tomlinson and hear words of wisdom from Dustin Luther (speaking to organizer Brad Nix above).
The panel discussions were excellent and I'll share some hints on the social networking platforms that I gleaned in upcoming posts. The afternnoon breakout session with Pat Kitano was fabulous, just as I expected.
Hopefully this will become an annual event and next year I would love to see "tracks" with some sessions targeted to agents wanting basic information and some for more advanced topics.

Michelle, that sounds like so much fun. Glad you got to meet everyone. I'm going to Inman and hope to meet everyone in San Francisco.
