broker: How often do you Blog? - 10/28/08 05:53 PM
Recently I was asked by an agent just how often successful agents blogged.
I was about to reply when something crossed my mind: personally, I know of many agents that blog a minimum of 1 blog post per day - however, if youy count the totality of the 'new media' posts by the top bloggers in our industry, I believe it's in fact much higher.
Consider this: there are now many many ways to 'blog' as we know it.
Twitter - and all of it's variants (personally I like Where's GPS Twitter function on Blackberry)
Multiple blogs / re-blogging
Other short-message … (12 comments)

broker: Best Blog Widgets - what works, what doesn't - 05/19/08 09:57 AM
Ok I'm curious to learn here - what are the 'Best' blog widgets out there?
I'm not talking about the add-ons to the frames, sides, etc. of web pages on your 'blog' (like AR) - but rather the stuff you can actually place into a Blog Posting.
Traffic trackers, sharing tools, etc. that you can add via HTML or otherwise to help track, tag, share, store, reference, and otherwise expand your posting audience and subsequent results.
thoughts? Ideas? Faves?
Raves?
Thanks for sharing - I'm sure all will benefit from this conversation about blogs, blogging, tracking and widgets available for Agents … (5 comments)

broker: MLSNI Data - contact information for Agents and Brokers, UPDATE - 10/25/07 05:22 AM
Hi all,
 For MLSNI we have been seeing no data for the contact information coming across in the automated broker listing uploads, including: Agent name, phone, email, etc.
Our data partners are currently addressing this and we should see a correction in the coming days.
As a side-note: This issue was not brought into focus to the data provider(s) due to the fact that *most* other sites/portals will not display this data anyway, just the URL back to the listing.
We fully brand the listing with contact information back to the source - another reason we continue to deliver the BEST ROI … (1 comments)
