It's the dirty finger nail in the demo that grosses me out. Otherwise, I think it's cool. All this kind of technology is cool, and wow! I hope it does get used in real estate and I hope I get to do the voice over!

Of course my voice would only be suitable for ve-ry high end homes!!

The shower, I'm afraid, like everyone else! though I agree there is something splendidly soothing about driving. I use that time to listen to my iPod (via the car's audio system) and catch up on all the "free" seminars one can download.

Re: Zip Realty to Offer Certified Pre-Owned Homes

Juliet Johnson — Mon, 19 May 2008 10:48:34 -0000

Well, but the trouble here is that buyers only want NEW and most of the inventory we have out there is OLD, or pre-owned. Anything anyone can do to spin OLD in a NEW way should be given credit and encouragement, I think. Otherwise, we might just as well knock down a house when it's time for the current family to move out and rebuild new all the time. Isn't this taking built-in obsalessence to a ridiculous height?

Heavens! Here's a Tech Tip even I might be able to manage. Thanks I'll put it up on the Home Marketing Mastermind Group on Facebook.

Re: Twitterdoodle Wordpress Plug In

I'm confused as to which way this thing works. Does it aggregate twitters to your blog or other people blogging on your keywords to Twitter? What's a simple home stager to do these days? So much tech to keep up with. Thanks for introducing this concept. I'm off to have a play and see if I can work it out.

Brilliant! I of course, can't get it to work, and have had to email tech support!! :-) Honestly!!

Re: Use Twitter100 to Easily Keep Tabs on Your 1000 Friends

Thank you for this. I had been using Tweetdeck, but even that is hard to read and keep up with. This sounds like a much better idea. It's still really hard to get people to "converse" on Twitter - the medium still tends to be a one-way announcement system. Everyone following everyone else and their links, to make sure they haven't missed anything.

Can you just imagine the smell?

Re: Unanswered questions from Tribes by Seth Godin

Juliet Johnson — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:12:07 -0000

I'm in the Ning Triiibe, and as a habitual tribal heretic, I'm struggling. I ebb and flow with activity there, rarely feeling intelligent enough to comment. When I do, I tend to get lost in my own point!

On the one hand, Triiibes feels like a luxurious First Class Lounge at an airport...but there's an element of people posturing to show how clever they are. The beset thing is the access you have to some very busy, interesting and cool people, who, for Seth, are prepared to tolerate nobodies and engage in dialogue. Thus, there are intriguing learning opportunities. I would never have discovered a Becky Blanton had it not been for the "lounge" Seth has created.

Maybe that's where the change begins... by creating watering holes for the well-known and unknown to come together to learn from one another...and maybe that's where the seismic shift is that Seth feels his book, Tribes, has created. Could you have had one without the other? Would all of those folks have come there had it not been for someone like Seth who was in the throes of writing a book about it all?

Maybe there's room for a Mark Dykeman book on a his own comet and corona ----

There was open enrollment for a while with Triiibes. He posted the link on his blog, and if you explained yourself a bit you were accepted. I'm not sure you had to be recommended. You do now, however.

Did Seth invite Dr. Mani? Or did the fellow find him on his own? Dunno. what seems to have intrigued most people was Seth's invitation to be part of a book he was writing. In order to illustrate the concepts, he wanted them to exist in the purest form first. And because Seth has a following, he was able to pull that off.

You have a following. And a relatively sizable one is my guess. I don't know. I do know that those of us that "follow" you (read and digest your thoughts and writings) love the way you think and express things. Therefore, you already have your own tribe. And if you don't think you're leading it, so much the better for the therefore-must-be-empowered followers.

You and your folks could write a book, or could come together for something else. No reason not to. Just need a rallying cry, focal point, purpose... even if it's the green-brained, anti-exclusive, lunatic fringe, it's still a gang going someplace with you, in your light, on your journey....

That's all I was trying to say.

Re: Social Media in Real Estate – Part 1: Twitter

Juliet Johnson — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:25:09 -0000

I'm having a lot of fun with Twitter - great conversations, and a substantial increase in traffic both to my website, my articles and most importantly to my Squidoo lenses.

Plus, Twitter is the perfect way to update your Facebook!

I'd love to get to know other people on Twitter... please feel free to follow me at twitter.com/julietjohnson.

Great post, thanks. Juliet

Re: Social Networking Sins Revealed!

Great advice, Nancy, thank you! You taught me this, personally on FB about 6 months ago, and I've never looked back! It's amazing how overwhelming it gets and how quickly, as the number of friends one accumlates grows exponentially.

However, I have noticed how eager people are to engage in dialogue and how hard it seems to be for them to initiate a discussion. If you talk to them, they seem to love it!

Totally second the shout-out to @ConnieGreen. A nobler, kinder spirit would be hard to find. She knows so much, too, and most of it self-taught. A real inspiration!

As are you. Thank you for sharing a very real circumstance - Been there many times, myself - with good advice to keep in mind.

Happy New Year!

Juliet
