Adapting Web 2.0 to Your Real Estate Business These days the web is evolving rapidly. It is no longer enough to have a website, optimize it for your location and try to capture the top spot in Google. Chances are that won't be enough. There will almost always be a few people out there - usually spurred on and advised by someone in the web promotion business - who is being much more aggressive than you. Today, being aggressive means using Web 2.0 tactics. What are these tactics? There's so many it will make your head spin. "Web 2.0" refers to next generation web technologies that encourage interaction and reader involvement. A good example is Youtube.com - anybody with a free account can post videos of just about anything. Other people watch them, and comment on them. The viewing frequency of particular videos will push the popular ones to the top of the list and so they'll get even more views. Wikipedia is another good example. Anybody can start a page on virtually anything. For instance, if you consider yourself an expert on 18th century Hungarian folk music, go ahead and create a page (although there's probably already one there). Then anybody else can just add to or edit your work. Craigslist is another example. Post free classified ads in major cities across North America and around the world. Your ad stays in circulation for usually about 45 days. If they pass the automated CL (craigslist) filters and if nobody else tags it as spam or inappropriate you've got your message in front of millions of potential viewers for free. Real estate agents and brokers have a real leg up when it comes to this kind of stuff. Why? Because their target markets are generally localized. It is much easier to dominate the search engines for local search terms (e.g., "Elora Real Estate") than it is for more generic ones like "real estate" or "for sale by owner". But there are efficient ways to use the new media and some pretty inefficient ways. I spell some of this out in a more general way at my online promotion site. You need to do some analysis and planning, and then you (or someone working for you) has to do some ongoing work. You can't just put up another website and expect it to the job for you. You have to keep adding to your focused blog, commenting on blogs or forums, creating new targeted resources like Squidoo pages, and yes you might even consider doing some videos and posting them around the web on sites like Youtube. And you might get serious about email advertising too. This all may take time and cost a bit, but hey, you're probably already spending (wasting?)piles of money on things like directory listings and park bench advertising, so just cut back in a few other places and give the new media a shot. Improve the Value of Your Home with Bathroom Renovation Bathroom renovations can be large or small - from a simple update of the flooring, to enlarging the room and replacing all bathroom fixtures. Bathroom renovations often include changes to air conditioning equipment that can improve moisture management in the house. When renovating your bathroom or kitchen choose from a large selection of bathroom waterfall faucets including: glass waterfall faucet collection for bathtubs and vessel sinks. A bathroom renovation is one of the most appreciated home renovation projects. In simple terms, you invest in a bathroom improvement now, you enjoy your newsly upgraded bathroom while you continue to live in your home and you get a higher selling price for your home when you decide to sell. So your bathroom is a very good investment - better than most other renovations which do not enhance your enjoyment of your home nearly as much. Plumbing leaks are one of the main reasons for bathroom repairs. Plumbing leaks will continue to damage finishes as well as the house structure and will promote mold growth in bathrooms, kitchens and wherever else water collects. When renovating your bathroom, upgrading the plumbing must be your first priority. |

SMS Gaming - Text Paging Games that can be Played by AnyoneApr 20, 2006 - Linknet Entertainment News SMS Gaming - Text Paging Games that can be Played by Anyone Apr 20, 2006 - Linknet Fun and Games== Free sms service - Send gsm sms (short message service) to German mobile phone users via this page | Chess Sets - Beautifully designed - Over 100 Staunton designs == SMS Gaming - Text Paging Games that can be Played by Anyone, by Robert Lett - Using the Physical World as a Game Board: This is not a Kinky game! SMS stands for Short Message Service. Just like our last article, this can be fun for teens and adults. You just have to do it on a different scale. Pick a location approximately 4 square city blocks of a favorite area where your teen group or friends like to be. Spend an afternoon picking locations from that area and creating hints that can be text paged easily. Pick at least ten locations if not more and three to five hints for each location. Put the hints in order of hardest to figure out to the simplest, which will almost tell them where it is. You can mix the Location Hunt game with a Scavenger Hunt! Once they find the correct location they now have to find something else at that location. Either physically getting something to bring back, taking a digital photo or taking a video to bring back as proof. And this can make for a fun experience at the end of the game when everyone involved shows back up at the starting point. The best way to play it is only send one hint at a time, this way they don't know the next location or what they are supposed to do when they get there. You can give a list out at the beginning of the game, but there is a little more mystery if they have no way to plan ahead. If you have 15 or more people, set them up in groups. Only one page to one of the phones in each group. Send the groups in different directions, i.e.: One group might start with hint number 10, another group starts at hint 7, and so on. If everyone starts at 1 and goes straight through, they will end up following each other. This only keeps it fair. And if you have one location that's hard to find, and you give the first group that looks for it the easiest hint, when the next group is trying to find that location, you must give them the easiest from the beginning. That's really the only way to keep it fair. You need to come up with a small prize for the first group to make it to the final location. For teens, you might come up with movie tickets for that night. For the adults, hmmm, a free round at the final location would be nice! Just about anything will do, it will give them something to fight for. Depending on the age and ability of the individuals, they may begin to getting tired, if so you can always skip to the last location where the prize might be or just end the game when they find the next location. You might want to be ready with as many locations as you can think of. You can always use them on the next hunt. Email me with any new or better ideas on "Creating your own breaks". Thank you.

Now, how much is that same computer worth when you or your employees aren't sitting in front of it? When you're out of the office and that potiential client calls, do you have to tell them that you will get in touch with them when you return to the office? Is that potiential client calling your competition in the mean time to see if they get a better response? What if you could have all your important files with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Hanging on your belt or sitting in your purse, and it wouldn't weigh too much more than the cell phone you are currently carrying.
