distribution: Why Are We So Attached To The YouTube Model To Distribute Real Estate Video? - 12/21/07 10:53 PM
Initial Models Have Always Been Limiting
There was a time when the world was thought to be flat. Humans just could not break out of that model.
People simply could not conceive of a round earth. They drew dragons on maps to represent falling off the edge of the world. Even though there was data from visual observation of the night skies and a fledging body of mathematicians with math that said otherwise, it took hundreds of years to break out of the existing model to the mre successful model that we have today.

distribution: Real Estate Video And The Wizard of Oz - Part 1 - 12/08/07 09:39 PM
In order to figure out how to break away from the confines of our thinking, let's look at and understand some of the constraints of the current model for real estate video....particularly property video tours.
- Where To Start: (a.k.a "we're off to see the wizard"): Generally video involves an online journey by way of an online site other than your own to upload video. Your customers/clients/coworkers/blog buddies/etc. can upload videos someplace to bring them to you and you can do the same to upload videos for them to see.
- Limiting Factors: (a.k.a. "if I only had a brain") There seem to be two chooses as far … (11 comments)

distribution: Extending Pat Kitano's Concept Of “Hubs And Spokes” To Include Value Measurements - 10/20/07 09:12 AM
Thinking About A Hub and Spoke Model
Pat Kitano captured the idea of distribution of content with Web 2.0 re.net sites (or perhaps even web 3.0)  far more eloquently than we have been able to with a model of "hubs and spokes".  He outlines his thinking in an excellent recent article about redefining a social networking community via hubs and spokes . Pat states for instance:
"Social networking connects the real estate pro to far more diverse communities (hubs) via relationships that extend beyond their physical sphere (spokes). " and goes on to add, "A Realtor can be exposed to a big subset of the community through … (0 comments)

distribution: Why The Video Tour Industry Just Doesn't Get It.... - 08/16/07 12:39 AM
Video Tour Providers Are Failing To Make Compelling Arguments To Win The Market Over
As most of you know, I'm a video tour tour provider. I'm also in support of just about anything that drives adoption of real estate video in the marketplace..whether from our company or not. But our industry needs a bit of some "tough love" around the product that we have because we definitely get it from a technology standpoint..but we are completely lost when it comes to making the case in the marketplace for the advantages of video tours over virtual tours.
For instance,  I've read a number of blog posts … (14 comments)
