Digg my Real Estate
2008-06-04 00:15:00 Not really…but Houssee.com is trying to be just that (it seems). It’s very similar to Digg but with a Real Estate news focus. I wish them a ton of success, but “Houssee”?!?! Interesting site name to say the least. More About: Real Estate

Real Estate?.which CMS to use?
2008-02-21 05:13:00 Since early October 2007 I’ve been working toward a simple goal - to get a working real estate site up.

Real Estate Site Update
2008-01-17 02:00:00 Development is coming along well on my site. I was able to import over 23,000 listings from the Sandicor MLS along with the photos.

To Podcast or not to podcast…
2007-05-11 23:06:00 Podcast. This is a very interesting word to me. It’s a word none less interesting than, say, widget. Apparently, in order to be inducted into social media mainstream use, the word in question has to sound like it comes from a far, far away, fantasy land. I’m sure to get into the ...

Digg the Effectiveness of Social Media
2007-05-03 22:05:00 The recent Digg controversy is an example of the effectiveness of social media as a viral tool.
