Your blog training was the best presentation I have ever attened. Prior to hearing your take on the subject I thought that a blog was not worth the time it would take to set up and manage. Now I am sure I have to do it to say in front of the market. February 6, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Dustin: An A+ seminar! I judge an event's success by its power to evoke change in the way I do things. As a result of this morning's learning, some definite changes will be made. And for what it's worth, Top Producer and I will likely be mutual beneficiaries. So will my network:-) Thank you for a powerful presentation! February 6, 2007 at 9:08 pm
Dustin, Thank you so much.. I have been a fan of Rain City Guide for sometime. This was a terrific presentation. I found the answers to many questions. I 'm involved with Active Rain but know that I need to do something with my regular blog. I think it's time to move on from blogger but have questions about what happens when you take your name and move. I'm curious if you would have time to answer an e-mail or if I could call and ask a few questions. I would understand if you are too busy.. and perhaps this is something that could be addressed on this site if you are going to enlarge the scope in the future. Again.. your presentation was the best I have attended. February 6, 2007 at 9:58 pm
Excellent presentation, Dustin. I came away with a boatload of ideas and look forward to making more changes. Any chance the session tomorrow could be recorded? I expect there are many that would enjoy a podcast. Cheers, Jeff February 6, 2007 at 9:59 pm
Dustin, I thought I'd never have any reason to Blog...until TODAY!!! You opened up my eyes to many ways I should definitely fit this into my business...Your knowledge and preparation was very thorough; thank you for the added humor!! If I were grading you, you would get an overwhelming "A!" I'd have to hold back on the "A+" only because for me being on the low end of the computer/techie "lingo," at times some of what you said kinda went over my head...But you did a good enough job that even those of us who weren't as computer savvy as others in attendance managed to walk away with more than we came in with!!! Thank you! February 6, 2007 at 9:59 pm
Glad to be represented. That's awesome! I heard there was one of the Tomato Girls wearing her uniform at today's seminar. February 6, 2007 at 10:06 pm
Dustin: A home run on many accounts: 1) You know what you're talking about 2) You know it from experience (you've run a blog) 3) You discuss the thoery of the "tech" invasion 4) You explain how darn simple it is to use a weblog 5) You offer a practical solution (how fortunate that Top Producer actually has a product) I'm considering setting up TP7i's with a blog because of today and I'm a lender. Hey, Allan Dalton! From one opinionated broker to an opinonated CEO: You're getting your money's worth with this Luther cat. February 6, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Hi Dustin, Well that was a first rate presentation. I invited my new broker and quite a few agents to your presentation. We have been discussing blogging for some time now. They are starting to look at me like i have less than 3 heads now. After your seminar they were actually discussing it and less fearful about it. The soft sell approach really hit home with them. That combined with the conversations we have been having about the changing market and consumer are getting them to think, that is always a good thing. Good job. Laurie February 6, 2007 at 10:39 pm
All the positive feedback is most wonderful. I'm glad that many of you found the presentation helpful. I really do enjoy inspiring others to get involved in blogging and other online community building tools! Kaye: I'm more than happy to talk... Feel free to email any time! Jeff: I actually recorded today's presentation in full... It's such a big file AND is almost three hours long. I just can't see how it could be published online... Nonetheless, it is available and I may look to do something with it in the future! Jim: I believe it was actually Roberta Murphy (from the above comment) who can representing the Tomato crew! :) Everyone else: Thanks again for the kind words! February 6, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Dustin: A CD perhaps? I'll bet most of us would be willing to pay costs. February 6, 2007 at 11:11 pm
hi dustin - i had a great time at the seminar today! i love meeting fellow bloggers and real estate pros and we had quite a few regulars in the house which was pretty cool. even better was seeing all the interest from the people that did not have blogs. amazing. you hit it out of the park today. to be honest, this should be made into a course. you provided so much information that i feel a newbie may need more time to absorb it. i'm working on a post about the seminar right now. as i told you today, move is very lucky to have you. best, rudy.sellsius° p.s. i have a podcast of the entire seminar broken into segments. if you like, i can get it up their tomorrow. let me know. February 6, 2007 at 11:39 pm
Hi Dustin, Wow, Wow, Wow!! I loved todays seminar. I responded earlier on your Rain City site, but am more than pleased to respond again. I drove as fast as I could with out being arrested to get to my computer to choose my new blog site name. It is "Avocado Alley" I called my neice who is very computer savvy and she helped me choose names for my mascosts, Abby and Andy Avocado. My section on what is happening locally in my town will be called "Guaks happening" . I have spent the rest of the afternoon checking out all the other blog sites you mentioned. Needless to say, I am on information overload, but just can not wait to implement so many of your suggestions! If you could post any additional seminars that may be in the Inland Empire or Orange County area, I would greatly appreciate it. I called my broker and told her how impressed I was with the seminar, she has asked me to give a run down of what you had to offer at our next office meeting. Perhaps what I will do is just direct the entire company to my new blog site for the info. I guess it is never to soon to start directing people to the new blog in town. Thank you so much, Janice Greene of Avocado Alley. February 6, 2007 at 11:42 pm
I love the idea Janice... There's still time to invite people to the session tomorrow in Glendale! :) February 6, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Janice: Post your url when it's up and running! February 7, 2007 at 12:41 am
Thank you for opening new horizons. I tried RSS after the seminar and now participate in your blog. Dustin, your workshop presentation was easy going, articulate and very informative. Most important, it was based on your own family business experiences. The last component allowed me to relate to your future aims. Interactivity of web 2.0 places time demands and you were brilliant to show the benefits of doing just that. Not only CD, but the video of the seminar would be highly desirable item. Your unbelievable faith in new tech and sharing personality made the event exemplary and memorable. Any expo or international conference would greatly benefit from having you as a key speaker on a subject. Top Producer and Move are lucky indeed. Look forward to follow your light. February 7, 2007 at 10:05 am
Dustin - I really enjoyed the program and learned alot. It gave me what I hoped to hear about and that's a good thing! Thanks! Dave Kerlin February 7, 2007 at 10:14 am
Brian, Thank you for asking me to post my url, I will proudly do so. I have Dustin to thank for all the great ideas. My problem at hand, it that I just need a few more hours added to each day. Does any one have any suggestions in this regard? I will certainly share the information with my co-workers next week and direct them to topproducer for upcomming seminars . Thank you Janice Avocado Alley- stay tuned! February 7, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Great presentation. Get on board, the train is leaving the station. Where's my checkbook? February 7, 2007 at 3:15 pm
I really enjoyed your presentation today. It was informative; it answered all of the questions I knew I had, and some that I didn't know I had and it was fast paced. I'm excited to check out all of the links listed above. Thanks a lot! PS: I loved the water break photos too. I'm going to find the canary one and use it somewhere. :) Julia February 7, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Great presentation today. Blog are helping to make and keep the net current. Your insite has push us into adding blogs to our city.com web sites. www.PalmDesert.com www.SanClemente.com www.SanJuanCapistano.com www.MissionViejo.com www.LagunaHills.com www.LagunaNiguel.com www.FountainValley.com www.DanaPoint-ca.com www.LakeArrowhead-ca.com www.OklahomaCity.com Thanks for the insite. February 7, 2007 at 3:40 pm
I would be interested in hearing your ideas on developing a "Real Estate" channel under a domain like www.palmdesert.com February 7, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Art, My take is that it really depends on what you mean by "channel"... The existing real estate channel on the domain feels ad heavy and not necessarily all the informative for the typical user. There is nothing wrong with the idea of a real estate channel, but if I was running the site, I'd focus on consumer-friendly and relevant content. February 7, 2007 at 3:55 pm
Wow, when I first heard Chris Crocker, who is Coldwell Banker's head of programs, research & development, talk about Web 2.0 and sites like Raincityguide.com two weeks ago, I was fascinated, but didn't quite understand all the lingo and concepts. Dustin, you helped clarify the next marketing edge and MUST for Realtors. I now know why Chris thinks you're amazing! Thanks for the great presentation! February 7, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Dustin, Thank you for a dynamic presentation that had choice web information encapsulated with stimulating graphics. I learned a lot of new destinations as I had used only the kayak site just last November and trulia from my alamode website. I appreciate you expanding my webview. I believe enough of what you and Greg had presented to take out my credit card.Thanks again for highlighting the trail to advanced successes... February 7, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Dustin, I am a total nubbie at this concept of blogging,you presented the material in a fun and informative manner.I would recommend that all realtors must attend one of your seminars to function effectively in this market.You know what chatterboxes we realtors are,now we have a place to go and share thoughts. I would love it if you come to a LA regional seminar for KW realtors,since you are our preferred Vendor. Blanche D'Souza February 7, 2007 at 6:31 pm
I found your seminar very inspirational. You made the subject matter very interesting, informative and easy to understand. You also have great enthusiasm for the subject matter and that helps us believe it's an avenue to follow. I will follow your advice and develop my niche market, and own it like a junk yard dog. You are a pro at what you do so forgive the BAD, your ending presentation (Integrating Top Producer) could have been better. You told us the reason for Raincityguide's name and I believe that approach to introducing Top Producer would be in order. It seemed like a sale (I had the full suite before going into the conference) but you not really endorsing it. I hope this helps as you have helped me. Humbly yours Hugo February 7, 2007 at 6:48 pm
Overall good presentation. You were able to communicate what could be a complicated and open ended subject very clearly. You started a little nervously but warmed up to you subject quickly. Thanks, Dick February 7, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Thanks, Dustin. That was the best presentation that I have ever attended, and I have sat through many, lately. It was meticulously planned, fast paced, very visual, incredibly informative, and humorous enough to keep my constant interest. I have been searching for ways to increase my web presence, but I was not aware until your presentation of how important a blog can be, and just how easy it is to set up and maintain one. Your pointers on how to keep it interesting and successful after it is launched are invaluable. I am already searching for my new blog's URL. Thanks Again, Robert February 7, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Justin, Your presentation was fast paced and fantastic. We got our blog url tonight: MalibuRealEstateBlog.com , I wrote my first posting, and hope to get it up soon: all because of your mentorship. Thanks . . . and don't stop sharing all of your energetic talents :) Cheer, Denise February 7, 2007 at 11:19 pm
Dustin, To be honest, I didn't expect much from yesterday's presentation. I usually do not attend any free training, but have recently started joining in some conversations on Active Rain and little by little am trying to learn about learning... I feel a bit shy :-) about posting still since there seem to be no rules, but yet again a ton of shoulds/should nots. I was totally blown away by your presentation. You are an excellent speaker and break things down into bite size, tiny pieces for us newbies! I didn't understand how RSS worked - now I do! I didn't know that a blog is truly just a different kind of website and that you can assign your own URL - now I do! So many other things... I am forever thankful! You are a very giving person! I am also with Keller Williams - the Pasadena office and I chair our technology committee - I know pretty scary! I'd love to see if we can arrange something in terms of a presentation to our office and a couple of other offices in the area. Let me know what you think. Thanks again! You are grrrrrrrrreat! February 8, 2007 at 7:53 am
Fun and fast-paced presentation -- extremely relevant information in an info-overload world. Can't wait to get my own blog going. One constructive criticism, though... I saw some typos in your power point (sorry, I used to be a proofreader -- it's a curse). Email me if you want specifics... February 8, 2007 at 9:00 am
What am I, chopped liver? I'm sure it was just an oversight and I'll make your next list. Continued good luck with all your fascinating endeavors, Dustin. It's fun to see what you'll come up with next. February 8, 2007 at 9:26 am
Marlow, No way you could ever be chopped liver in my book! I talk about you explicitly in my presentation, but lame me, the only time you show up in the presentation is when I show the interview blog post I did with you. I'll try to correct my oversight right now by saying that everyone interested in real estate blogging should check out Marlow's 360 Digest. Great stuff from a wonderful woman! February 8, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I commented Dustin on your Rain City Blog., But will do the same here and thank you!! Wasn't expecting as much detail as you gave us yesterday. Your knowledge and enthusiasm was big shot in the arm for me. I'm excited to get started again from a 6 week hiatus. man, you and Scoble all withing 2 days of each other, yeah he pummelled me a bit on his scobleizer blog. February 21, 2007 at 2:49 pm
I thought your presentation in Oakland today, Wednesday the 21st of February was excellent. You described blogs, Rss, url with blogs and other items so well. It is an area I have not used as of yet however will definitely look into in the near future. You are a great presenter and make the time very enjoyable as well as informative. Your information was easy to follow. Thank you so much for your time Sue Hoff February 21, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Dustin, Posted on your RCG blog this morning, but will comment breifly here as well. Thank you!! Great seminar yesterday, gave me a big shot in the arm to get started again from my 6 week hiatus. Your enthusiasm was great. Wow, you and Scoble both in the past couple days. Yeah, Robert ribbed me a bit for the blog delay. http://scobleizer.com/2007/02/19/ahead-of-my-time-real-estate-blogging-wise/#comment-292952 Thanks again Dustin. Great job!! February 21, 2007 at 3:18 pm
I am totally bummed that my office had me so booked that I couldn't make....When When When are you coming back to Seattle....I bet you could get our whole office there!!!! Can't wait!!!! February 21, 2007 at 3:40 pm
22 years in the business and this was the best seminar I have ever been to! The most informative on what we need today to do more business tomorrow! PLease keep me on the list for a return visit so I can get my title rep, escrow rep, lawyer, etc to attend the next one! February 21, 2007 at 3:53 pm
Spectacular presentation. I've been to seminars that I paid $200, $300+ to attend that didn't 1/10 the "meat" that you provided. Very clearly presented. You delivered exactly what the promotional seminar promised and then some! I had a very minimal understanding of blogging and wasn't really sure of the practicality of weaving such a discipline into a real estate practice before I attended. Your presentation clearly demonstrated the infinite possibilities and opportunities. Before I came to the seminar, I figured that blogging would only appeal to the real hardcore techno people but probably wouldn't have an impact on 95% of the buyers and sellers. Obviously, there's a lot more to it than I thought...and I now see so many possibilities. I wrote a RE column for about a dozen years and have all sorts of RE knowledge and insights to share (which I do all the time with my clients). I'm definitely going to move into the 21st century and embrace many of your suggestions and ideas. Thanks again. The best $0 I ever spent (but worth hundreds if not more)! February 21, 2007 at 3:58 pm
Dustin - An excellent seminar/presentation in Oakland today. You put all the pieces together for me, and now I have the tools to take my websites and online presence to the next level. Your tips made a lot of sense, and I'm looking forward to being on the "right" side of the digital divide from my fellow agents who are still worried about their "image" websites. I was already a Rain City fan, so it was nice to meet the person behind it all. February 21, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Dustin - Loved it. Thanks for the nanosecond of fame vis a vis this slide of yours - http://activerain.com/blogsview/23375/Advanced-Marketing-Don-t I'll be making some changes to our site and starting at least one more blog. I have a couple of points I disagree on - mostly around sellers' expectations and site content to satisfy them. Hopefully, it won't take but a few years to reeducate the masses. Is it possible to access the outline you printed online? February 21, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Very much enjoyed your presentation today. Particularly how you maintained control of the questions and kept the program moving. February 21, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Dustin spoke of the "organic" nature of web traffic while his delivery was as natural as walking and talking. It certainly helps to know your topic and Dustin, you certainly do. You taught us the good and the not so good; your candor was extremely helpful and motivating. I'm not sure I'll get the time to begin blogging, however if I do so, I'm sure I'll need to credit you for my successes. Great job! Highly recommended! February 21, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Dustin, Very good presentation. It is clear you are teaching from experience and you delivered the goods. I learned about many things online I did not know existed. I will definitly work to learn more and apply this to my business. Thanks February 21, 2007 at 8:14 pm
Great subject !! Am considering a sub market focus and wish to market to an area...I think the web is definately the way to do it? I'm going to try to create some valuable content and get "opt in" from the designated area! I registered on linked in and look forward to this cutting edge web info...Thanks for the seminar! ...db February 21, 2007 at 11:20 pm
I'm a new agent (less than 1 year) and this mornings seminar has opened my eyes (imagination) to a whole new tool. And if I understood properly, "blogging" is the great leveler... It gives me (the new guy on the block) an opportunity to stand on an equal playing field (providing I use the information I learned today) "Blogging" gives new meaning to John Knowles quote... "Knowledge is of two types: we know a subject ourselves; or we know where we can find information on it" (don't know if I should have used quotes... ah, it's close) Bill February 21, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Having watched the evolution of the NWMLS from Compass to Locator and how the ebb and flow of digital technology transforms our industry, your presentation revealed why blogging impacts not just the world wide web, but me. More importantly, it demonstrates how I can impact the web. And that's really liberating and powerful. Dustin, you truly infused your passion for the internet into a concise presentation that started off pretty darn fast, but ended early and delivered ripe information that was easy to digest (burp!). I also appreciated the minimal "Sponsor Moments", but hey, I'm a full subscriber of TP and when I found out that they had a blog solution already available to me I could plug into, I was stoked. Nice Power point display (I wish I had a listing presentation as slick as that!) and thanks for sending out all the website listings... That gave my Treo Thumbs a short breather while I captured some raw inspiration yesterday. Thanks! February 21, 2007 at 11:53 pm
BTW - if you would like to see how the Altos Research graphs that Dustin mentioned can integrate into your site and how you can use them for lead generation visit our site = TheHarperTeam.com. If you are interested in subscribing to them, you can mention my name to Mike Simonsen and he will give you a discount and throw in a couple of more zip codes because of my association with TransparentRE.com. I think we will follow Dustin's advice and replace that featured property space on our navbar with the IDX search function. Since we renovated our site in Nov and added the blog, our traffic has tripled and 80% of our business is coming from leads generated off the site. February 22, 2007 at 7:14 am
Okay, I have to admit I almost didn't attend and had started to rationalize why I didn't need to attend. After all, blogging is a vanity page anyway for folks with excess time on their hands plus I'm techie so I can Google what I needed to know about blogging, right? Well, I'm very glad I attended. I certainly have a very different perspective of blogs and am very excited with the many possibilities of applying it in my commercial real estate business (or any business for that matter). I can clearly see where I can improve my business and save me time with what Dustin had shared in the seminar. I teach the Keller Williams Internet Lead Generation course in San Mateo so I'm always looking for new internet/website technologies and applications to augment the presentation material. Thanks to Dustin, I'm working on adding blogging to the course. Excellent seminar, Dustin. I found the materials relevant, useful and truly worth the time to attend. You have an engaging presentation style that kept me interested. I particularly liked the "water break" slides as I, too, forget to drink during my seminar presentations. Keep On Bloggin'... February 22, 2007 at 10:40 am
Thanks again to everyone who attended the Seattle and Oakland shows this past week. As always, I really did enjoy giving the presentation and your overwhelmingly positive feedback is very encouraging! Best to all! February 22, 2007 at 11:29 am
What? A show in Oakland and I wasn't told? Man... I'm just around the corner (170 miles) - would loved to have been in attendance. See you are Blogger Connect. February 22, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Jim, I'm looking forward to seeing you at Inman Connect as well! February 22, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Thanks for taking the time to come out to Seattle and share your blogging presentation. It was excellent and I learned quite a bit. I knew blogging was out there however I never knew how much was out there! I had heard of Rain City Guide and have read a few articles/blogs here and there. It's a great site and you have done a wonderful job. The seminar was truly worth attending. The content is relevant and the slides were great. You have a great personality and held the attention of the audience nicely. Very entertaining! Thanks again Dustin. Hope to see you in Seattle soon. February 23, 2007 at 10:25 am
Dustin, thanks again for such a great seminar. It's nice to hear that someone else has had to do the mail stuffing as much as I have. Currently, I'm transferring all our newsletters and articles into blog format ( http://www.resavoirfaire.blogspot.com/ ) and will be incorporating it into our website. Thanks again for keeping the seminar moving along smoothly and efficiently and I look forward to attending the next time you're down here in the Bay Area. February 23, 2007 at 10:37 am
Your presentation was very enjoyable and informative, but at the end, I had mixed feelings. I believe that blogging is important and gaining stature. I was concerned about the need for a very quick acknowledgement or response (ie. 15 minutes). I am going to wade into this, but have concerns regarding getting consumed by it. Perhaps, if we had an opportunity to spend more time on how to manage a blog (blogging 101.1). Your list of sites is greatly appreciated and have been a helpful in understanding what is needed. I am glad that I came. February 24, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Jack, You brought up a really good point so I decided to answer your concerns in a new blog post: What about the Q&A? February 26, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Loved your presentation -- my third on blogging. I can see the relevance and value in all of this - the challenge is getting involved. Can't be that difficult, right? I'll just have to dive in.... It sounds like you are in a catbird seat at Top Producer. Their application is AWFUL*- anything you can do to make it more intuitive and easy to use - not to mention making it easy to look at (used to be purple, now it's blue- very depressing) - would be appreciated. My biggest issue is that every time they improve something or add a feature they should have had years ago, they charge for it. Ugh! It's already too expensive. *That being said - it sync's to my Palm quite well - the only reason I still use it.. February 28, 2007 at 12:10 pm
I see you included a couple favorites of mine in your list, ActiveRain and Futureofrealestatemarketing. You should check out realblogging as well. Excellent blog! March 7, 2007 at 12:48 pm
The seminar was GREAT! Dustin was so enthusiastic and definitely kept it interesting. I got into some traffic on my way, so missed the first 1/2 hour, so I want to attend again. Please consider finding a place to have it in Orange County! (I know a lot of people that I would bring with!) Thanks Dustin! April 4, 2007 at 11:14 am
Excellent!! Very interesting specially for someone that has never blogged before. Your timing and pace at the seminar was also sufficient to absorb all that information. Thanks http://leonardom.topproducerwebsite.com/my-blog.asp April 4, 2007 at 11:25 am
Dustin, I set up my ActiveRain blog on Friday night, and I am now the Featured Agent for real estate in Whittier. I have invited a lot of my colleagues to join also, and a couple of them have. When I do a Google search for First Team Real Estate Whittier, one of my colleague's ActiveRain sites appears above mine, even though I have already put in tons of blogs and other details about my profile, but all he did was register and add his picture. Why don't I appear before him? Thanks for the great presentation! Bob Willis First Team Real Estate Whittier www.firstteam.com/bobwillis www.activerain.com/willisbob April 4, 2007 at 11:42 am
Thanks for the feedback Vicki! One of the next areas I'm thinking we will go is Orange County and/or San Diego. I'll let you know if we do go there! April 4, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Leonardo... Great to see your site! :) April 4, 2007 at 12:33 pm
I'm not sure about your Whittier question in Google... Google's a funny monster and it may just take time! April 4, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Thanks Dustin for an eye opener on Blog's. I am not totally comfortable with trying to participate, but may try soon. My only negative was that you speak so fast. I like your enthusiasm, but would have learned more had you slowed down a little bit. Sometimes your words just melded into one another. April 4, 2007 at 12:57 pm
This was a real eye opener! I am so glad I attended. It feels like those that don't stay current on new technology will be left behind. You covered so much information in such a short period of time and in such a way that was understandable; it gave me a whole new direction on how to spend my energy going forward. THANKS. April 4, 2007 at 1:05 pm
I loved the seminar. Did not get to the blogging part as I had to rush back to my office to work as one of the loan processors was sick. I wish I could have stayed. Technology is changing rapidly. I would love another seminar. This was terrific. April 4, 2007 at 1:34 pm
I was amazed and impressed with the volume of great information that I took away from your seminar. I haven't stopped talking about it to others in the business since. I thought the pace was excellent and appreciated the quality of your presentation. You kept my interest throughout. I have no doubt that what you taught is very relevant to how consumers want to do business with real estate agents now and in the future. I'm looking forward to any and all future seminars. Keep me on your mailing list, please! April 4, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Got a lot of useful information but felt like I was trapped for five hours in an elevator with a speed freak. April 4, 2007 at 5:02 pm
Dustin- Thanks for presenting a very compelling program about the dynamic nature of Internet marketing as it opened my eyes to this brave new world that is reinventing commerce. The practical understanding you bring to the these abstract concepts of Blogging, linkation, SEO and networking is very powerful. I had to go home and explore all of the resources you introduced us to and I'm in the process of reinventing by business model yet again. The biggest thing I learned is that change is constant and we need to continually jump into the new concepts and capabilities because our customers are going there as fast as we are. I welcome an opportunity to attend your next one and I really feel that these topics deserve a full day. The topic of API into inovative mashup would be a great topic to be included in your program. I have stumbled onto programableweb.com and see great potential in these evolving technologies. Thanks again for this "cutting edge" opportunity. I hope we can go again when the "next big" opportunity comes along. April 4, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Dustin, Thanks for the great seminar. I would like to learn more about making the blogging part of my everyday life. It still feel a bit too abstract for me though. I am not the quickest to learn this kind of stuff so it will probably be long before it becomes part of me. Your seminar certainly made my fear of electronic era more approachable.
