Eau Claire Real Estate

Sometimes people wonder why when I write in my blog I often cover tech and computer issues. One reason for this is that I have always loved working with computers. I first started working with computers on a Commodore64 about 25 years ago. Before I was 10 years old I was learning to program in Basic and while I never did pursue that as a career, the love remains.


But why blog about this kind of stuff?


Well the short answer is that I tend to write about programs that I find useful in my Real Estate career or something that just seems interesting to me. A few weeks ago I wrote a post called Drop Everything You Are Doing And Get drop.io.


I didn't write the post for any other reason than it seemed like a pretty useful tool. Just a few hours after I made that post I was contacted by Steven Greenwood [steve@dropio.com] http://twitter.com/sgreenwood He just wanted to thank me for writing the post. It tells me a lot about a company if not only are they watching for what people say about them, but they take the time to thank people for the exposure that they are giving them. In fact I have been contacted by quite a few companies for writing different posts about their products and I plan to continue this in the future.


You can check out their website here.


Take a look at the drop.io blog here where they just announced a major update to their Firefox plugin

This truly eximplifies the "age of conversation." I believe that we can expect more and more businesses reaching out in this way. The art will be to communicate thoughtfully and not appear to just be seeding information for selfish interest.

I am very curious to see how real estate agents are able to engage in this conversation in the same way--without bullying their way into the conversation.

Hi Shane, Thanks for the memories! I haven't seen any mention of a Commodore64 in awhile, so I couldn't help but chuckle. I assume that I go back a few years further than you, so I also had the pleasure of the Z80 based computer which I guess I am too old to remember the name, the Apple’s I & II, then let's not forget the Radio Shack TRS-80, or "Trash 80" as it was better known in my circles. It's amazing how far things have progressed in those 25-30 years!

Yup I actually worked on the trs-80 a tiny bit but that was just to load up a game or something. But back then you had to know a thing or two just to even do the simplest task. I remember in grade school they had the Apple computers.

I actually installed Windows 3.1 on a machine that came with Windows 98. That was fun!
