ARM'd for Halloween

The RE Barcamp DC reviews are in! One lucky blogger wins pass to Connect NYC '10

On Tuesday, I attended RE Barcamp DC, in Herndon, VA.  Industry professionals came from all over to gather at the latest installment of RE Barcamp. 

I know that I had a great time, and I'm sure a great time was had by all.  There was a lot of sharing, a lot of learning, and plenty of fun had throughout the day.  more...

A New Twist on REbarCamp - Virtual REbarCamp

Just got word about a very interesting new idea from Jim Cronin at Real Estate Tomato.  Jim is putting together the first ever virtual REbarCamp to be held on Nov 17th (2009) right after the NAR convention in San Diego.  This new bar camp will be a full day of predeturmined webinars with unlimited participants.  Jim is also creating a framework where local agents can have some F2F (face to face) meetups that could happen all over the country - if enough people jump in  more...

The first home online

Who was the first person to post a for-sale home listing on the Internet? Inman News Publisher Brad Inman (@BradInman) posed the question in a Twitter post (click to read) today.

Attn: WordPress Junkies - Real Estate WordCamp is Coming

I've never actually been to a wordcamp - but I've heard some great things from those who have.  It's kinda like a barcamp but very specifically and (I think) exclusively about wordpress and how to use the many plugins and tools associated with wordpress.  If you're a wordpress blogger, this could be a very cool day. 

Just found out that there's now a Real Estate WordCamp set for Monday, April 12, 2010 in Denver.   more...

The Voice of Real Estate

It's been a whole 6 days now since I joined the team here at Inman News.  People have been asking lots of questions about why I'm here and what we're "up to" :)  It's been a lot of fun sort of NOT answering the questions directly because there's some secrecy around many of the big changes to come and around some of the exciting stuff that you'll see at Inman Connect NYC (and future events).  more...

Were you at REbarCamp Silicon Valley 2009?

My first official act as an Inman employee (other than the obligitory HR paperwork and such) was to attend part of REbarCamp Silicon Valley. I flew in from Atlanta just in time for the very beginnings of happy hour (nice timing, huh?).  I didn't actually attend any sessions because the alure of the VIP lounge was just too strong for me to resist.  I've been to a bunch of barcamps so I was way more interested in seeing people and catching up.  more...
