DISQUS

WOOOHOOO! Congrats from the Nicolay household....where the munchkins definitely rule! Here's to sleepless nights, poopy blowouts, and leaky boobs!!! It's ALL worth it, enjoy every moment of this wild ride that has just begun! CHEERS!!!!

I like Todd's idea...but I think you should shoot for more like 20-25 minutes. Or mix it up! But in "my-tech-opinion" 10 minutes is a bit short to dive into the meat of topic or provide how-to implementation strategies. Just one twit's opinion!

I think the common mistake for those of us (maybe it's just me) striving to converse and collaborate the super smarties like you, is that we get caught up trying to show we have character....when having great character requires being a great listener. It's all in the details. I'm really try focus on the details of the people I meet to foster a common ground for getting to know them.

Woohoo! Kelly rocks it hard! I always preferred threesomes! Love ya!

A Social Media
Resume should
demonstrate your
expertise...how well
you can connect with
and to your
audience. Some nice
advice...but I would
try something a bit
more progressive.

For example, I have
my own domain name
(NicoleNicolay.com)
routed to my
lifestream right on
my blog
(MyTechOpinion.com).
There you'll find my
current FB status, a
brief bio, all my
Web activity (or
lifestream of my
network
activities),videos
I've created,
archives of all my
blog articles and
Facebook Connect.
It's me,
transparently
professional...or at
least I think so.

Sherry walking through was my favorite part. She obviously knows a thing or 2 about viral video.

And to think I didn't even bribe you!

Thanks for branching out to include those of us that enjoy supporting RE pros with helpful resources and training!

It's been a fun ride so far, especially learning from YOU along the way! Here's to rockin' the RE net in 09!!!

Another one bites the dust....if you're FB Connect!

What do you think about the other side to Google Friend Connect equation....Facebook Connect? Have a post all ready on it's benefits...but still have a little trouble seamlessly integrating it. <> But I have integrated elsewhere and looks and feels great! Talk about instant blog community!

Works for me! I'll be Reggie's charity any day!

It's absolutely all about building relationships. Be yourself, share, and help....and you're bound to make the connections that will take your brand and your business to the next level.

May not be today or tomorrow...but good things DO come to those who don't spam.

Very nice breakdown on how to use Twitter. Superb etiquette tips. I recently started welcoming my new followers with a video. Check it out and let me know what you think: http://budurl.com/niknik

I'm with you Kris...I kind of like awards too. I have to look at Reggie's award case all day long!

But let's all have an cocktail in NY and get "influential"!

Joe, Scott, & even Guy (lose a link, gain a link)- Looking forward to getting Sacrilicious on you! :)

You know what this REALLY means right, Reggie and I have to share the same home office now!!!!

Couldn't agree more with #25...or the whole list for that matter. But particularly #25! The more you give...the more your own community will grow! It's that simple....but it does require effort and strategy.

I also like sharing media that sends community my way! Meeting peeps at events, taking pics and sharing on Flickr and Facebook helps facilitate bonding AFTER the event is over. I also create podcasts of all my helpful blog articles on MyTechOpinion.com and put them on iTunes. Both strategies have yielded pretty fair results.

Nice layout and player. Can't wait to see more!

And I'm still laughing! Have you seen my REAL Twitter Commercial....well, it's not really mine...but I am in it! Hands too!

Me too.

ITman: Yes, you are.

I love MOO. The card and print quality is awesome. I also carried the Mini cards at Inman. like the unique size of them....they stand out in a sea of regular business cards. I'll have to order the business cards and compare. Thanks!

The comment plugin is a great add for helping to build community and kick start coversation on your blog! Nice work! Oh, and the sidebar is coming along. :)

To be honest...I'm not a fan of Google ads.

So true. Taking your blog to the next level is definitely going to look different from one blog to the next. I think we can help by narrowing down some blog types (ex: RE industry, broker centered, agent centered, neighborhood etc.), addressing ways to reach specific audiences (& grow readership & community), AND potentially looking at ways to monetize your blog by incorporating features and resources that won't distrac- but actually lend to the content.

Boy, that was a mouth full. I've been thinking on this one too Daniel. Looking forward to getting down to business at the Connect. So much great information to come our way! I can't wait! See you soon!

Great list! I'm posting a story about my Secret Twitter Adventure from last week and the ways I benefit from it. (I'll gladly link to you.)

Have you considered adding Twirl (http://www.twhirl.org/) and TwitterBerry (http://www.orangatame.com/products/twitterberry/) to the list?
