Amazing how many companies don’t take advantage of this beast of a social networking tool.

Too bad self-promotion is prohibited on Newsvine and will get your account banned.

I agree that Facebook is an excellent tool for business, but I’m not sure that sharing listings is the way to use this tool.

There’s a strategy to networking on Facebook successfully which includes using your personal profile as the “closer” while using a Facebook Fan Page as the top of the sales funnel. REALTORs should plan out how they will integrate these tools into their marketing without being overbearing.

Other than that I think you’ve got some good tips here.

The filter approach is clearly valuable. Having some level of human editing to uncover best stuff on the Web is helpful.

What’s missing is an industry filter.

For instance, we created HedgeFundPulse.com to give users a view of the industry at a glance. It is amazing how much someone can take in by simply scanning the hedge fund industry headlines on one page. (Including top Twitter accounts!)

We also went one step further and incorporated a custom search engine that includes thousands of industry specific sites. The results are far more relevant that the typical search and it enables filtering out the garbage.

Yet both have the same problem: after a while you have so many tabs full of news that the whole exercise on trying to access relevant news becomes moot.

As Guy quotes on his blogs, it’s not about information overload, it’s about filtering …

To read the news, an approach like that of Red Panda’s contextual browser seems much more interesting.

Quote from Elishia Windfohr! Linkedin is one of my favorites of the social networking sites. Also it’s a great and essential tool for professional networking with like-minded professionals, where you connect and join groups and you can’t beat the seo word to mouth value! I enjoy it!

Hey, this is a bit irrelevant, but I noticed your blog page loaded lightning fast compared to mine. So I was wondering are you using dedicated hosting or shared hosting? thanks.

I really enjoyed what you said about extended networks. I recently began friending old colleagues I’d lost touch with, and it’s been very rewarding for business, but especially my personal life.

There’s also a new Facebook app out there that puts my listings (and solds!) on my profile and business pages. I’ll take a new listing, then “share” it by publishing it to my wall and sending it to my seller. The cool part is the seller forwards it on to all their friends, which helps establish me as the neighborhood expert. The app is called CenterStage for Real Estate Agents. You can find it by visiting clientopoly.com.

But regarding the videos, I’ve seen a lot of bad “home tour” videos. Any suggestions on how to make good ones?
