CRT looking for social networking experts to…
…submit proposals for a special session at NAR in Orlando!
I have lots of ideas, but I think it could be particularly interesting to submit a proposal for a discussion along the lines of “learning from success.” My idea would be to show a few different examples of how people are generating leads by using (non-blogging) social networks like LinkedIn, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, etc. and tie everything together in some general themes of what it takes to be successful.
I have enough good examples in my back pocket to put a presentation together, but I could ALWAYS use better examples… Are you an real estate agent or mortgage broker who has found a way to tap into a particular online community who wouldn’t mind sharing your story? Let me know!

Hey D!
Yeah, I have few in my front pocket
Shared a bunch golden nuggets at a blogging and social media class I taught along w/ Joe for LIBOR - The Long Island MLS in New York yesterday. Yes, there were some pretty loud oohs and ahhhhs from the audience…..

Dustin and Rudy, why don’t the three of us submit a panel proposal?

There are plenty of case examples to look at- most of them revolving around SEO techniques around communities or online word of mouth campaigns. Point2’s Facebook app would be a good example of a quick adoption item, as well as many of the realtors who have amassed 10k+ mailing lists on sites like Myspace. I’ve even seen a few pop-up on Meetup.com too.
Perhaps a brainstorm conference call. E-mail me at my new address if you want to catch up!

Jeff: When I read Rudy’s comment earlier today, my initial reaction was… I wonder if we can do something together. And then, when I saw your name on a comment, I immediately though, I wonder if we can get Jeff involved!
The fact that you suggest that thought in the comment makes it all the better!

Barry: I’d love a brainstorm (and to find a bit more about what you’re up to these days!). Email is sent!

@ Dustin and Jeff - Let’s do it!

I just like sticking my head in here and watching you guys work together…
If you need anything from a guy in the trenches, just shout!

I would love to have some insight as well about social networking.

Tracey,
I’m hoping that Rudy, Jeff and I will be able to put something fun together or NAR, but that is still a ways off… Much sooner (end of May), Jim and I will be having another 4RealzEd event in Los Angeles!
