    Though it's not really a social network in the true sense, meetup.com is an amazing resource for connecting with "special interest" groups in your local area. Their motto is "use the internet to get off the internet". Jay Thompson Broker / Owner Thompson's Realty Blog: www.PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com .

    "He was toast, and the agent who seemingly had no online presence whatsoever had a sale -- not because she was great at online marketing but because she didn't stink at it." That is compelling. There is no one way (or right way) to do this thing we call real estate. If I relied on door knocking or cold calling, I'd have been the one begging for change on Market Street during Connect. I suck at door knocking, hate it, and can't do it. Others can, and more power to them. I don't get Facebook either. And I have 410 friends and am even a member of the "When I was your age Pluto was a planet" group. I have found its a good way to reconnect with old school buddies. But sell real estate? Not so much.

    This was my favorite formal session at Connect. I came home to "Inbox 8,907" and worked all day Saturday to get to "Inbox 4". And it's going to stay that way. Mann's techniques aren't earth shattering, but they are effective. As Jason mentioned above, it's really mostly about your attitude...
