The Latest Real Estate List

Lately there have been a lot of discussions about Social Media Gurus, Real Estate Mavens and other assorted Influential People. I have seen lists and lists, and while there is some agreement in who should be included, it appears there is more discord when it actually comes to the choice. …

Target Marketing on Twitter

I was fascinated by this portion of Minority Report. How far away are we from iris or retinal scanning, with advertisements specific to recent/favorite purchases on our credit cards?

Secret Identities

If you look at blip, I have something like the start of rockstar stats. I have over 5000 followers-  frankly I don’t know why- and I only watch the blipstreams of 194 people. It wasn’t something I set out to do. I just followed my friends, watched my favorites, and …
