Blog Topic #8: Dings!

By
Real Estate Technology with ActiveRain

It's been a while since we've done a blog topic, were we share our perspectives on a particular topic.  We've got a number faces so I expect this to be good.  The "Your Towns" blog topic was excellent and had some great results.  We're going to do it again, something a little smaller this time.  Instead of towns we're doing buildings.

One blog that's been successful focusing exclusively on this is Curbed.  I'd encourage you to look at it.

What to write
Pick a home, building, or some type of structure in your market and tell us about it. Since we're mostly in residential side of the industry here it might be best to pick a living structure, but that's up to you.

For all new entries to this sharing, I'm awarding 50 bonus points.

  • Entries must include an image of the structure.
  • Entries must be posted to Localism, properly tagged and categorized.
  • Please include the tag dings so that everyone will be able to find it.
  • Entries must be in by (before) Wednesday March 21.
  • Entries must be new submissions.
  • Entries must be original and by you.

Top entries will be award an additional round of points as follows.
400 points #1
200 points #'s 2, and 3

I look forward to seeing what you have to share with the group.

Thank you,

Caleb

Update: 

I'm using the tag "dings" to be short for buildings.

This is will certainly add more content to Localism and I suspect we will probably learn some interesting facts.

This is going to generate tons of great material for Localism.  And a healthy competition never hurt, either!

This is a nice idea for a blog.  Please check out my Schnitzelbank entry.  It is mostly pictures because the parent site was already full of quality information.

Thank you, Chad

I'll catch the next one.  I have been down for a couple days and just couldn't make it out.   Maybe when I have time I'll just put up a "make up ding".  :)
