New Localism launch date announced: July 9th

Jon, I look forward to the acceptance of blog posts.  Great idea,  I assume there will be a waiting period for the human editor to "accept".  Have a great 4th weekend!

Jonathan- I'm excited to see the new Localism and I really liked Broker Bryant's suggestions: think of this comment as more of a..."Yea, what he said." type of a comment.

Jon, I am thrilled, so many new things, right in the middle of MI busy real estate time of year, and the makeover2takeover contest !!

I'll catch up, but this is exciting, I listened to Bob's interview yesterday on the radio through Brad's post, being able to eventually post to our WP blogs, my poor little wp blog is being neglected and may eventually have to go away.

Happy 4th !!

Thanks....

I have been saving my market updates for this very fortuitous time.....

I am looking foward to what our Localism has turned into!!

=-)

I must say you guys really have your stuff together and what you have done with AR is simply amazing!

Kudos!

You guys are amazing!  This forum gets better and better.  I can't wait to see it.

Is it the 9th yet?  This has been much anticipated and I can't wait to see the new look and feel.  I can't wait to see all the new bells and whistles.

The front page looks interesting...can't wait to see what's in store.

Another tool, but this has caught my interest. The countdown is on. I'll be checking it all out on the 9th. I'm sure there will be lots of blogs on here.

Good to see.  The success of course in this relies most heavily on member contribution and consumer perception:-)  I do hope both are high.

Jonathan, we just can't wait! This has been a long time coming for you and I would like to say an early Congratulations! I think we will all benefit from this.

Later in the rain~Deb

Wednesday will be here quickly!  Thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes folks!

is it the 9th yet????  

This should be interesting.  When you say chronological order does that mean from July 9th going forward or will select posts be accepted for the launch date?

will guidelines be sent out prior to the launch? Where do we go if we have questions other than a blog q&a?

I agree with Bryant.  Some posts belong on Localism only. 

For example, when I read some of my favorite members, I want to know their opinions about various issues in the industry.  I want to be able to skip local events and market reports. 

I'm probably in the minority, but the idea of "accepting" posts to Localism doesn't sound right to me.  If a member has gone to the effort of creating local content, they should be able to post that content to their Localism blog.

P.S. Good job, guys.

Looking forward to the change. Current version isn't quite working the way it should.

No one has noticed yet, I'm amazed :)

Holy crap - it's up and running!!

Well kinda, it's not officially up until tomorrow morning.  But we needed to bring it up to work out some issues (meaning it will go up and down a lot tonight) 

Love the look of it, but definitely have some questions....who do we direct regional issues to after you've worked out the initial bugs?
