Like this<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Unchained was promoted by Social Media Marketing only, most of it here. No advertising. No affiliate marketing. No ass-kissing. No taking crap from morons. No Inman.<\/p>\n

If the lesson of this is lost on you, then you missed out on the biggest piece of what we were doing this week. I might try to convey the point in a satirical post, but how can I top the item linked above?<\/p>\n

All of this broke out as I knew it would. We talk all the time about “What would David Gibbons do?” but this sequence of events came straight from the “What would Greg Swann do?” playbook. We’re not revolutionaries, despite the poses we might sometimes seem to strike. We’re all about supplanting<\/em> what we see as negative forces, not up-ending them or making war on them.<\/p>\n

So: What did Inman News do to itself this week — and in the preceding months? It ignored us, which did us no harm at all — but which demonstrated beyond all doubt that it is not<\/em> devoted to news<\/em> in the real estate industry.<\/p>\n

It’s a dead letter, just like the NAR. In their heart of hearts, Brad Inman and his employees have known this all along. Now you<\/em> know it, too.<\/p>\n

In any case, here’s my<\/em> great idea: No chokepoints. No bosses. No taking crap from morons. No Inman.<\/p>\n

Feel free to add your own great ideas. There’s no “application form,” and you don’t have to kiss anyone’s “community” to win recognition for your brilliance.
