Climbing the Learning Curve of Social Media for Real Estate ~ Rebar Camp Indianapolis Indiana

We attended Rebar Camp in Indianapolis on November 2nd. We had a wonderful

time, met some great people, and got all juiced up on Social Media. Seriously,

if you have the opportunity to attend one of these free seminars, you really should

take advantage of it. Some of the best and brightest talents on the web were

presenters. Plus you get the input of everyone attending, so it is a very intelligent,

knowledgeable crowd with expertise in many areas.

Here are few photos of our groups soaking up the information:

We want to thank the Indianapolis hosts and planners for being so welcoming and

sharing their Rebar Camp experience with us.

Thank you - Lola MacIntyre, Dave Woodson, & Harrison Painter

Thanks for talking about this. Do you know where I could find a list of Rebar camps? I'd like to put that on my 2010 calendar.

Terry - While there's nothing like attending a RE BarCamp, in person, the next best thing is coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 17. It's a virtual REBC. You can check it out at

I hope you don't mind me adding the link. I'll understand if you choose to delete the comment.

Debi: Here is one thing i picked up Google owns Utube and when you put a video on Utube Google checks the words you say on the video like key words so they can index the video. With that info when you do a video with voice use the keywords over and over again that bring in more traffic.

Marilyn: No problem with the link I might join you if I have time it will be my first day back from NAR in San Diego.

Looks like a fun time, Terry. At first I thought everybody was checking their BlackBerries, but then I realized no, they aren't sleeping either, they're actually writing down notes. With an audience that engaged, it must have been a wonderful learning experience.
