Here here Matt. As an Austin real estate agent I find it hard to create a healthy balance in my business. The brokerage I’m with is leaps and bounds above the average brokerage when it comes to web design and SEO – but our President preaches constantly don’t abandon personal touches, note cards, farming, open houses etc. He really wants us to realize we can’t put our entire business in a website and make it. Thank you for sharing this, it was great to hear someone else second his voice.

Not an agent, so don’t have any hot tips. But I see what you’re saying if you look at from an interoffice pov. But this type of sharing happens all the time in places like ActiveRain and RealTown – where agents aren’t competing with each other at the kitchen table. So there are places to go for the collaborative you’re calling for, it just might not come from your desk mate. (I always thought it was 21 days to make a habit, so you are 30% of the way there!)

Matt,

Too much of good thing is bad. Social Media is no different. It’s a great tool, when used in moderation. Excessive use will lead to dependence and perhaps a bit cut off from the real world/reality.

And what ultimately makes social media so cool is the people. So don’t forget to talk to one (a person) in person everyone once in a while. It will remind you why you wanted to meet people via social media in the first place.

Absolutely Russ – the post I’ve been working on for about a week now is focused just on that. “Engineering Tech into your Business” We all need to step back, breathe, and figure out if we really want/need/can make money from to integrate this into our business. Thanks for commenting

Matt,

couldn’t agree more. using technology with out a purpose is just wasting time. If you are going to use the technology make sure it adds to your business and supports your current strategies.

thanks for the tips

Absolutely agree James – however it’s my thought that the more people I talk to – the more I run into people that are abandoning their tried and true practices for the “latest and greatest”! Also, rather than saying (for example) “ok – posterous – I’m going to integrate that into my business/marketing efforts” they are interested for 3 days until the “next” thing comes out. Does that make sense?

Thanks again,
MAtt

Before Web 2.0, many individuals were off in their own little world isolated from the intimacy of their clients. Web 2.0 has allowed for each and everyone of us to connect to people in ways that were not imaginable. Although you could get caught like a deer in headlights, it is up to the individual to incorporate this new tool in their arsenal on what they desire.

Comment on BlogWorld Insights #2 – The US vs. Them of Media by Rachel Rusnak

Matt, great post! I wasn’t able to make it to BlogWorld, so I really appreciate you bringing all this info back.

I have to say, this US vs. THEM mentality makes me a little sad. I have heard a lot of it recently; the debate whether new media or traditional media is “better”, who is sharing “real” news, etc. In my opinion, it’s all a little exhausting.

I definitely agree: collaboration is crucial. Also, interesting that Lovecat tasks all begin with “SHARE.” Hmmm….
