Although your mention of the word "gossip" brings up a good point too. It's easy to spread rumors, false claims, gossip, lies, and sow discontent a lot faster than ever before. Everything always has a down side to it I guess. Valorie – It was fast. Although your mention of the word “gossip” brings up a good point too.

I have admired them both for their blogs in the past, but now I have more reason to. I wish them the best in their travels. I just hope that NAR will truly listen to what they have to say. Paula - With the bazillion emails, posts, and comments you've probably generated, I'm sure you're swamped so I appreciate you taking a few moments to stop by here. You've been given a heavy burden because of your post, but luckily, I know you can take it on. I have full faith in you and Jay and wish you the best. Imagine this had happened ten years ago, it would probably happened quietly and never been seen by most. Thanks to your post, the word is spreading and people are reacting.

What has happened here is truly the power of social media. It's true, there are many who do not understand and many more who don't want to. The point is, those of us here who do understand have the power to reach across boundaries we would not have otherwise had.

As a blogger, I can't think of two people I would rather have represent our community than Jay and Paula. Good luck, guys. I hope so as well.

I do hope that Paula and Jay are well received, listened to, and have enough time to get their points made. I know they will do a great job, I just hope that it goes well.

As a dues paying member of NAR, I cannot believe they would classify the #1 search engine on the planet this way - to the detriment of our clients. I have fought tooth and nail to move my rankings up the Google ladder, and the last thing I want is to turn off that money stream because of archaic rules that do nothing to help my clients sell their home.

I saw it mentioned in several places (so it was spreading news) and could see how it was being passed from one person to the next and then to their "friends" and then on and on. I think the whole post/comments could be printed and shown to anyone who says, "I don't get social media." If that doesn't explain it, I don't know what will. AgentGenius became the town hall of the RE.net for a meeting on the new plans for our town. Arguments were made, discussions were had, and solutions were proposed. I wrote this about an hour ago - I forgot how to hit "submit" apparently. Missy – It really served as a prime example of the power of social media and being able to get involved.
