He’s back! My friend and radio host extraordinaire, Michael McClure, has launched a new season of #RTB Radio. I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest this week. If you missed our rap, rhyme and real estate reason…no worries, I can hook you up with the playback!
So take a listen, it most certainly is NOT a boring conversation. In fact, we hit all the most important topics: what #RTB means to me, killer real estate video, online and offline storefronts that rock, not so hands-free driving stories, passion and more passion, Ironman training, and of course my favorite topic…..WordPress!
So I had a little too much fun making slides for an upcoming presentation. Thought my fellow cupcake lovers…and shkoffers would enjoy!
For you newrds,
Shkoff is just Italian slang for eat wholeheartedly, or pig out! I don’t say it nearly as good @bitchinkitchen, but I don’t get all worried about it.
Congrats to @TonyLongo! BlockAvenue launches today…and is aimed at delivering a better integration of geolocation and social! Get the whole scoop from Techcrunch!
I have a new “weapon of choice” when it comes to curating relevant content and engaging with those in your network that find it extremely useful. It’s called Dashter. It’s a social content dashboard of sorts, but really…it’s much more!
Dashter was recently launched by some incredibly smart folks, one of which I’m lucky enough to call a friend…that would be Jeff Turner. I’ve known Jeff for many years as a well-voiced blogger, poignant speaker, innovative entrepreneur and he’s not too bad on the dance floor!
Now I could skip right to telling you how to use it. Which might get you to try it, for a bit, before throwing your hands up in frustration over the latest shiny object. Or, I could just tell you why I love this new tool, and why you should too. Which might actually get you to use it with delight or better yet… make it your own social content “weapon of choice”.

When I present, teach a class, or give a Webinar I LOVE providing examples and scenarios that demonstrate the strategy being discussed. One of my most favorite and extraordinary examples of raising the bar in real estate has always been Heather Elias.
Heather and I have known each other since WAY BACK…during the good ole RE.net days when blogging was all the talk! And it was shortly after starting in real estate in 2004 that Heather also started her blog, LocoMusings.com. A writer at heart, a bit of a techy, and a lover of her community…she shared it all with great posts and photos on a WordPress.org blog she set up herself.
Over the years, Heather’s business grew and so did her Website. She recognized the need for more features to provide additional value to her community and potential clients. So Heather added an IDX home search solution, as well as market data and trends. Because Heather had selected the WordPress platform, she was easily able to add new features in the form of plugins.
