Sometimes we forget that although we may be doing business through a computer, those people skills are very important and sometimes more difficult to put across because or writing can be misinterpreted. I recently found a local woman and blogger write a statement in a forum about one of our listings and mentioned it in twitter - she later found the twitter stream and got offended and felt we were talking about here behind her back. It's not an easy one, that's for sure. Paula – I totally agree

And while that may have its place and usefulness, people with a bigger picture in mind realize that its really all about creating relationships with others - and it goes beyond just hitting up potential customers. Relationships are where its at. The short sighted people are all about “spammin’ and jammin’” for short terms gains (through links, publicity, etc).

I do wonder though, are the people we hang with in these venues so pleasant on so many levels because we were lucky, or are really social pleasant people attracted to the "mean streets" of twitter and facebook etc? Surely there are other people there besides the brunette queen of all media , the Tan Princess of Miamism, the Photo Queen of St Paul or the Barefoot Countessa of WV? Do they just hang in different neghborhoods then we do? A question for the ages...

It is all about connecting with others, learning from them, hearing their suggestions, teaching them new things on skype (Lani...LOL) and overall having fun. Grant and I hope you and Rick have a wonderful anniversary! Besos a los ninos! Gia Ines,
