content management: The Platform: Applying Broader Multimedia Technology To Real Estate Use - 05/09/09 11:24 PM
We've just admitted it.  The multimedia content management platform that runs Vidlisting.com supports far more than just real estate. but what does this mean for you?
Before we answer that, let's understand what a platform is and how the popular term has been misused.  A platform allows developers to build applications that take adavntage of the functionality built into the platform itself.  Basically, if you cant build an application, website, or functionality on top of it, what ever you are using isnt a platform.

content management: Real Estate Videos That Customers Don't Want To See - 04/21/09 12:51 AM
If you had a customers looking for an important video of yours, how much content that they dont want to see would they have to look at?
Somewhere along the line, aggregation of real estate video content has been confused with choice.  This was figured out long ago by the listing sites. On a listing site or even your own website,  your customer in the market for a 3BR house likely would not have to wade through 1BR condos as part of their search results...and vice versa. So, why do we make customers wade through a giant unorganized pool of video … (4 comments)

content management: Integrating Real Estate Video Content Distribution Across Blog Networks - 11/23/07 01:04 AM
I was using an application the other day that allowed me to insert any image from my hard drive into the document that I was writing. Think of this as a process involving the following chronological points: consent to adding content, search (from within a known but variable set of content choices), addition of the chosen content to my document, and consumption by users of the document.
Consent => Search => Addition => Consumption
Blogs are much like documents and real estate blog networks can be (but not limited to) groupings of like blogs by geography, common themes (commercial, luxury, etc.), … (2 comments)
