2007-11-06 12:50 Blue Plate Special
It was another one of those Uni Watch red-alert moments last night, as about a dozen readers e-mailed me all at once and another half-dozen or so posted all at once in the comments section. The cause Jason Strudwick of the Rangers got in a fight and his nameplate came loose during the fisticuffs, revealing some nasty-looking adhesive residue on the underside. All of which is very entertaining. But here's my question: Since when have the Rangers been using nameplates I always thought they used di …

2007-11-02 10:12 OpenSocial y su blog: OpenSocial API blog. Google se nos hace social-apista
Se ha estrenado el blog de OpenSocial de Google. Se llama : OpenSocial API blog y su primer post comienza tal que así: " The web is better when it's social" Friday, November 2, 2007 at 1:15 AM Posted by Amar Gandhi and Peter Chane, Group Product Managers There's no denying that the web enables communication. The killer apps of the web -- email, instant messaging, blogging -- have enabled us to communicate with our friends, family, and the rest of the world on a large scale. But there is a newer …

2007-10-23 23:19 Lead Generation 1.5 - Pay for leads and blog too!
I've been discussing how lead generation paradigm is shifting from 1.0 - paying for lame leads - to 2.0 blogging and 2.x syndicating blog content as currency to get leads. Then I read at Joel's FoREM that RISMedia has instituted a kind of Tom Sawyer "blogging" program where participants pay RISMedia $2,000/month for writing articles about their locale. It's a collision of the old 1.0 "pay $2,000 for the leads" and 2.x syndicate blog content to get leads. RISMedia is not only selling expensive ad …

2007-10-21 22:45 Blogs are attracting VC money
SFGate, the San Francisco Chronicle online newspaper, has a Sunday article that I've been anticipating - Yes, some blogs are profitable - very profitable. Valuations of blog have always been mysterious, and the article is the first I've seen in recent major media to broach the subject. Here's what the article states and the parallels to real estate blogging: Blog based media is gaining fast on traditional journalistic media More quickly than most anyone imagined, blogging is growing up.

2007-10-18 00:30 Redefining Community - from Hubs to Spokes
With over 50,000 members, Active Rain continues to do one thing better than any other real estate site: introduce real estate professionals to the concept of online community. The discovery of how one can develop close relationship online with other bloggers is intoxicating and it's evident in all those comments on Active Rain blogs. I believe most non-bloggers view blogging solely as a time consuming journalistic exercise; Active Rain and blogging opens their eyes to a new paradigm in networkin …

2007-10-17 16:07 How the new global economy is the wild card in sustaining the housing markets
I was somewhat surprised to see very thoughtful comments on Monday's piece The Fed's housing market objectives ... all three seem to understand that the US economy and housing market has to be managed within the context of the global economy and other countries' housing markets... it's refreshing to see such thinking because the real estate community is so local, local and local and sometimes doesn't see the bigger economic picture that is driving their markets.

2007-10-15 08:09 The Fed's housing market objectives
Daily, I read a lot of market and economics blogs and Bloomberg -type websites; after all I was on Wall Street for eight years. I'm going to assume that real estate professionals who are trying to keep up with the dizzy markets since "subprime summer" may find it difficult to come to any conclusion about the housing market except "wait for it to settle". That's because every day the media and the blog commentary seem to focus on only one or two aspects of the economy, whether it's inflation targ …

2007-10-12 19:46 Homescopes and the new local Blog Networks
Homescopes.com is a new website developed by a group of Coldwell Banker real estate agents in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sonoma County. Its mission is to draw in consumers who are interested in hyperlocal news - market conditions, neighborhood details - supplied by agent bloggers covering different regions around the Bay (and later Northern California). Homescopes.com's local "blog network" site architecture (code named " uber-blog" for those who have been working with us) was developed to b …

2007-10-12 12:32 The White Paper pdf is Dead
In the Web 1.0 days, readers downloaded "White Paper" pdfs. Sometimes one needed to provide contact info, and out pops a nice print quality pdf that may have required the help of a desktop publishing expert. Here are my objections to downloading white papers: First, I never want to provide my contact info. Who cares if these white papers are print quality with graphs and doodads I never print them out, let alone hand them to clients. Why do many of these white papers read like court documents wi …

2007-10-09 00:47 Lead Generation Paradigm Shift
The lead generation paradigm is changing dramatically. Web 1.0 was about buying leads sourced from sites that collected contact info, usually as a toll for the consumer to see additional information. Web 2.0 promotes the free exchange of information with the presumption that the good will of such exchange would lead to a business relationship. The newest paradigm is just beginning to appear. Web 2.x will promote the free distribution of data as currency to attract leads. User generated content, …

Dustin Luther called it a "white label" Zillow. Cyberhomes now powers the revamped AOL Real Estate site after AOL's contract expired with Realtor.com on September 30. The new role Cyberhomes plays is data liberator - AOL and other listings services no longer have to re …

2007-10-04 11:11 Sosiale nettverk øker tv-seing
"Gjett hva, TV Du elsker kanskje ikke internett, men internett elsker deg!" Slik starter Guinevere Orvis en artikkel på Last100 kalt "Social media boost TV ratings". Guinevere er nettproducer i Toronto, Canada og mener at TV må slutte å angripe nettet hver gang det har sjansen. Men heller ta inn over seg mulighetene. Eksemplene hun kommer med er veldig gode: I love the internet and I m tired of hearing it get blamed for TV s woes. While we re unleashing our lawyers on social networks with slips …

2007-10-02 22:27 The Long Tail of Real Estate Bloggers
I had an interesting discussion yesterday about whether blogging will go mainstream and become a real estate marketing medium as ubiquitous tomorrow as agent websites are today. Remember in 1999 when having an agent website, or even an email address, was considered leading edge After all, a blog is nothing more than an enhanced agent website. We discussed how Active Rain "owns" the blogger community. If indeed blogging becomes "de rigueur" or status quo, then owning the blogger community will ev …

2007-09-27 15:25 How to get a reader to store your blog and contact details for future reference
For real estate bloggers, capturing a reader who happens by your blog via a search engine, link or other referral means is critical to building the readership. Readers generally do four things to store your blog for reference purposes: Bookmark the site via the browser bookmarking function - browser bookmarks tend to be disorganized and difficult to use (I hardly use them) Subscribe to the RSS feed - usually done after reader has visited site enough times to believe it's RSS-worthy... but you wa …

All the snazzy JS effects was done by him, while I contributed the user interface for the plugin (so you know who to complain to if you don't like the design!). All the countries in SEA with localized Yahoo! Answers will have their own version of the plugin, but for now, the Yahoo! Answers Si …
