There have\u00a0been several interesting conversations going on in my\u00a0small corner of the blogiverse lately.\u00a0One was a comment to a Bloodhound post I wrote eons ago<\/a>. Someone wanted to know if blogging really works for lead generation. Well sure it…Wait. What?<\/em><\/p>\n

I forget how small the RE.net world is. It’s tiny. I thought everyone knew that blogging works, when in reality only bloggers know that blogging works and probably most people still don’t know what a blog is. It’s hard for me to keep that in mind, and frankly I find myself living in two seperate worlds- the\u00a0Web 2.0\u00a0world and the other world. My conversations and connections\u00a0in the 2.0 world\u00a0move quickly, almost instantly. It’s as if, Shazam!\u00a0You now have made\u00a0a connection to someone you didn’t know ten minutes ago. Now that person is going to connect you to this person and Shazam! Another person and fifteen minutes have passed.<\/p>\n

When was the last Inman Connect? Late July? Much of the discussion was how amazing it was that\u00a0people could connect quickly through blogging. You all know this is true because you are here on the Bloodhound Blog, in the RE.net world. The truth is that in my nonRE.net world, people don’t know this and I can’t explain it to them, and I’m not sure they care, and that’s the tricky part for me.\u00a0How do I gracefully move between the two worlds?<\/p>\n

Another interesting conversation took place on Daniel Rothamel’s Agent Genius post about Social Media<\/a>. The comment stream is from bloggers who are wondering if Twitter works\u00a0in terms of usefulness. It’s so interesting to me because I’m having that same conversation here about blogging and my reaction is the same: Well, of course\u00a0Twitter can…Wait. What?<\/em> The fact is that no RE Twitterhead has yet to get a lead from Twitter, but why couldn’t it happen?<\/p>\n

If like-minded people move toward each other, and find each other,\u00a0which\u00a0I know to be true- after all, we are all busy, we have to pick and choose who we spend time with, how much time do you make for people\u00a0you don’t like? Wouldn’t it be nice to find like-minded people quickly? To Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
