Connect SF '08 might be over, but the discussion continues. . .

I finally made it home and had some time to process at least some of the information that I learned at Inman Connect San Francisco 2008. Needless to say, there was a lot of it. Between the actual panel discussions, and all of the conversations that I had with folks, my brain and my notebook were filled with issues that I want to think about in greater depth.
The great thing is that if you are feeling the same way, the Inman Community is the perfect place to do it. Bill Wendel was at Connect SF '08, and he did an incredible job of live-blogging his way through the sessions and the conference. He shared his thoughts and analysis as group topics in the Connect SF '08 group. Take a look at some of the topics he brought up, and add to the discussion that is going on there.
One of the great things about Connect is that it does raise a lot of very important issues in the real estate industry. One of the great things about the Inman Community is that it provides the perfect place to continue that discussion with the professionals on the ground who have first-hand experience with all of these issues.
Come see what issues were the hot topics at Connect SF '08, and feel free to add your own!

I can't wait to get the 50 ways to prosper on the internet! That was great last year and great again this year. I love sharing the info with agents in my office. No one is as internet crazy in my office as me, so I not too concerned about competition!

I also am still trying to get through all the ideas and tools I learned about at ReBar Camp and Connect.
The San Francisco Association of Realtors newsletter that came out while I was at Inman Connect brought to my attention to an article in Barrons that was an eye opener.
It is about the mainstream media and the numbers in the Case Schiller report. There is positive news that is not being reported.
My review of the article is on my blog Fog City Guide.com and there are links to the whole article in there also.

Daniel/RealEstateZebra,
Thanks for your kind words, and the invitation to continue the wide range of discussions planted at ConnectSF08. I'd love to know if others in the Inman Community will be meeting off-line in their local communities for technology debriefings with clients or peers.

It's a great example of the community building potential of networking on and off-line with fellow real estate innovators, and one of my nominations for the Connect Hall of Fame!
With gratitude to Inman News and everyone in the Inman community for planting seeds of change. Let's continue talking about how we can reap the benefits for our clients and our businesses.
