It’s Official! There Will be A Virtual Real Estate BarCamp On November 17th, 2009

Some of you may remember REBarCamp PDX from last year at InCube. It was an awesome event. Well, this time it's going virtual!

On November 17th from 9AM until 4PM PST there will be the first of its kind, Virtual Real Estate BarCamp.

What is it?
VirtualREBarCamp is a One Day, All-Day, Online Real Estate BarCamp.
The REBarCamp phenomenon has exploded over the last year with dozens of in-real-life gatherings where the real estate community comes together to discuss and demystify the current trends in technology and marketing.
The goal of VirtualREBarCamp is to bring this experience to you as opposed to having to bring yourself to it.

• In place of a rented venue, they will be holding the event online.
• In place of break-out sessions in rooms, they will we have simultaneous webinars, all day.
• In place of the hallways, they will be chatting on Twitter, Facebook, Backnoise and TomatoChat.
• In place of traveling you'll be able to attend from the comfort of your home or office.
• In place of an impromptu calendar, we will be filling presentation slots all month.

Attendance is unlimited, and it is still FREE!

And finally, so as to not lose the Social Aspect of the BarCamp atmosphere, They are encouraging volunteers around the country to organize In-Real-Life MeetUps for immediately after the online event. Block off your entire calendar for Tuesday, Nov 17th. None of these webinars will be available after the event. You do not want to miss this. Register here now!

Just as with Radio and TV in their day, Social Media is now the way people get their news, learn about their world, and make desicions about the products and services they buy.

Question:
Will your potential consumer find you in this sea of information? Are you even in the mix?

Just in case you needed more convincing. Take a look at this.

Joel Spolsky: Setting the Right Priorities

Strong problem-solving skills are important in business. But as columnist Joel Spolsky writes, knowing which problems you absolutely must solve is even more important. In the early years at his company, Fog Creek Software, Joel and his partner learned this lesson the hard way.

Tips for Choosing Secure Passwords

Sarah Beckham wrote a nice little article in NewsFactor Network about secure passwords. Nice and basic but also a good reminder that we shouldn't get lazy and use the same password on every account and to change them occasionally.

As we all try to get connected to the Social Networks, there are some important, common sense, precautions we need to take.

The article below appeared in the February issue of CIO Magazine. I thought I would share it to make you aware that we have to exercise a reasonable amount of caution and good judgement. Specially if we are interacting with potential business relationships who may be affected by our actions (or lack-thereof).

Although the title of the article mentions Facebook by name, it is by no means the only site that has had problem. More about that another time.

Slapped in the Facebook: Social Networking Dangers Exposed
For many people, social networking has become as much of a daily routine as brewing coffee and brushing teeth. IT administrators dislike it and cyber crooks depend on it.
