I came across this article and I wanted to share with all of you.
On January 10 2007 CNN Money.com published an article titled: "Tech Trends Rock Real Estate World"
This article has brought out of the shadows (at least for me) and into the light the concept of bloggin and how this new technological trend is going to change the real estate industry in a blink of an eye....ladies and gentlemen; we are at the verge of a new "technical revolution."
I am sure many of you already knew this; the proof is in the pudding. Real estate bloggers such as Kristal Kraft, Maureen McCabe, Angus, Rich Jacobson and Craig Schiller; just to mention a few, have been at the front of this revolution. I have seen them out here every day proudly wearing their rain boots challenging us to find our own voice and since I have joined Active Rain they have been a wonderful source of motivation and inspiration.
I like to think of myself as a tryout pioneer of new technology affecting my industry, so I can almost kick myself for not seeing this trend arise earlier on. I said almost because I have plunged into the water....just in time.
And I am so glad...The CNN Money article quoted Mr. Brad Inman saying "Social networking is lifting real estate and in the next 12 months it's going to overwhelm real estate."
I am not afraid of this new movement, I have learned to embrace technology and now with gleaming hope I can't wait for the rain to begin to pour. I know that by contributing as a member of Active Rain I will enjoy the support and great company of all of you, making it impossible to drown.
And yet, there are still many people on this site that are still lurking, waiting or undecided....What are you waiting for? Get your feet in the water don't waste one extra day to place a stake on the ground and claim for yourself a piece of this virtual land!
This is my favorite comment in this article; "Inman says that real estate professionals have two choices when it comes to confronting the changes wrought by technical advances: engage it or pretend it isn't there"
Are you still sitting there? Go and put your rain boots on!
