One of the lessons I try to drive home in my seminars is that this same “user” is you. Thanks to the power of blogs, you can now become the publisher of your own newspaper (What would Abbie do with wifi?).

I have talked about it, they have talked about it, even your mom has talked about it, but some people just learn more by watching tv. (did I just say that?) Anyways, Dustin Luther over at Rain City Guide introduced me to this video and I think you’ll enjoy the presentation style (it’s very web 2.0).

I enjoyed your seminar yesterday and it gave me a much needed shot in the arm. I am excited to getting back to my blog. Had been a bit brain cramped the past few weeks. Super info yesterday and your enthusiasm was fantastic. Time for a water break! :-) Dustin,

I'm just figuring out how to make a live presentation interesting enough that it would be worth spending a few hours listening to, but I can't imagine looking at a computer screen for a few hours and still keep it engaging. If I could condense the entire presentation into a five minute video (like the video above!), I'd happily do that, but my video skills are not at that level. To give you an idea of my hesitation, I've sat through more than a few webinars recently with a research company that provides info to Move. I'm yet to make it five minutes in one of these presentations before I start checking my email and reading blogs (paying just enough attention to be officially "present"). Until I feel like I understand how to be interesting in the medium, I'm not touching podcasting or webcasting the presentation for the general public. BTW, I did give a half-hour webinar recently for some Move employees, so I'm not completely against the idea, but I'm relatively positive that a majority of people who were connected via the internet spent most of the time catching up on email... Overall, I have a better solution... How about if I come out to Atlanta soon? I was just talking with some event organizers at Move and we were discussing some of the next areas we'd like to hit... I'm sure I could add Atlanta to the list! :) Brad,

This presentation is broken into two parts... The first part talks about the competitive landscape that agents face and the second part talks about how agents can use online tools to stick out from the crowd. Nonetheless, it would be fun to meet up with you again, so I would never knowingly discourage you from attending! Marlow,
