Susan – Rick and I were discussing the other day that the knowledge I’ve acquired in the past 2 years on-line is like getting a degree. Time is a nice challenge (for everyone) – you are not alone.

Holly, you got that right. There is a ton of knowledge here and people willing to share. My problem is finding the time!

Robin – nice observation! Things have certainly changed in 8 months – also look at Twitter and all the new tools out there and where we stand as agents as opposed to 8 months ago. I can tell you that our own business has come a long way – survival skills and hitting the virtual pavement!

Holly – the tools offered by the RE blogosphere are priceless. The best part is that people are so willing to share what works…it’s not such a rough jungle after all.

““In the jungle where you are right now…..it is about how you take advantage of the opportunities that you have, anticipating that the world could be radically different 12 months from now”.

This post was written in November. Just 8 short months agao. With the DOJ v. NAR settlement, Google’s advances, Trulia’s gain of market share, who knows where we will end up. To survive in the jungle you need survival skills.

John – balance is always good, but I am confident that once you start seeing the results, your “luddite tendencies” will disappear

I try to strike a balance between being a luddite and being a cheerleader.

You should check out their website www.NAHREP.org (we designed it). I just signed an agreement with them to integrate their member base (14,000) in our Hispanic real estate portal, VivaReal.us. Basically all their members will have their own profile and blog (Acitve Rain style). Also, on VivaReal.us we are going to be featuring a few nationally recognized bloggers (bilingual). The bilingual blogging platform will go live in mid April. I will keep you posted as I think you are a good fit for our real estate section http://www.vivareal.us/guias/comprar/.
