Much Ado About Something! Posted By Dale

I have been talking about the book The New Influencers lately. It is an excellent treatise on the blogosphere and matters of new social media. It's a worthy read and provides a lot of anecdotal evidence that the world is not only flat, but might even be concave.

For example, our friends at Realtor.com are offering a free blog to every one of our 1.3 million members. While that alone won't create the conversational traffic that comes with getting your blog known and shared, it does signal that many changes are on the horizon. Stay tuned.

I commend Move.com, Realtor.com, Mike Long and Errol Samuelson for this rather large commitment to the bloggers' space. Maybe, just maybe, the blogging train hasn't left the station without us, after all. -- Dale Stinton, NAR EVP & CEO

Thanks for the great comment, Bo. We are working to change the title of the feed -- good suggestion. We also are working on a few other changes that will make it easier to find posts and comments on this site.

If you have other thoughts, or topics you'd like us to cover, please let us know.

Thanks, again!

In my grateful opinion, I would like to thank the N.A.R. for it's foresight, leadership and intelligence for creating and instituting this membership-wide "Forum / Blog". Wouldn't most members agree that this is nearly synonymous with a bulletin board of-sorts?

To kind of start things off with a little dialog, if I may, how many of your Local "Board of REALTORS / Association" have, or support members to have or use, a LOCAL "Forum, Blog, Bulletin Board, etc." for members to post comments, ideas, suggestions, questions, complements, congratulations or good, related information not widely known??

Hasn't most of mankind pretty much benefited from the exchange of ideas and information in a free and relative-open discourse for the most part?

I recently discovered the blog and I'm really glad to see you are making an effort to get the word out to Realtors through this Blog. Just one comment - I subscribed to the blog through Google and I saved it on my Home page and a reader. But the title "Presidents Report" doesn't really describe the feed when you are looking at many feeds in the Reader. My suggestion would be to make the title "NAR Presidents Report"
