This is the first time in my memory that a property directly on Herring Creek Beach has come on the market. Price: $3,950,000.

I am very impressed by the Online Convention sponsored by  Real Estate CyberSpace Society.  The speakers and topics are extremely important and valuable but I am blow away most by the concept.  They have taken the ideas of Web 2.0 and put them into an online presentation uses the best of interactive techniques and combining them with a usually tiresome but necessary practice:  Attending conventions.  Also included is an EXPO where you can explore new ideas without being crammed into a large convention center.  I even could take breaks and play a few games.  What a deal.  if you have not visited the … (2 comments)
