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).

The many details about where Inman is going don't matter as much as the understanding about our direction.  Our direction is toward an even more diligent & clear voice for the real estate industry.  Inman News has been one of the strongest voices in real estate for many years now.  That's nothing new. But, we want to be "the" voice - The Voice of Real Estate.

So, here's the twist...

"voice" in our 2.0 world is no longer about one directional megaphones.  It's about community & conversations & shared learning. The direction and intention of Inman News is toward an ever expanding embrace of our amazing real estate community.  From this blog to the larger Inman.com site to our Inman Connect events, we've got renewed focus around connecting all the best information with the right people.

We're asking ourselves questions like those below...

• How do we deliver even more value to our industry?
• What stories and topics does the RE world really care about?
• What does "the very best conference/event in real estate" look like (or how do we make it even better)?
• How do we encourage the true leaders in the real estate community (online and off)?
• What's next in real estate marketing?

The most important answer of all is your answer.  What's your answer?
