If you can’t yet make the grade as an Inmanically Annointed Blogger<\/a>, there may be a place for you.\u00a0\u00a0 All you have to do is to Twit<\/a> enough ass, and you too can be part of sepia tones and the best use of the Impact font on the RE.NET. \u00a0 Come one and all, and sit at the cool table.\u00a0 Daddy issues?\u00a0 Who cares, we want you here, in the land-where-no-idea-is-too-stupid to be published, and no agent is too lazy to be anointed as the next superstar.<\/a><\/p>\n

Just join the land of no dissent!\u00a0 Crazy micromanaging?\u00a0 Check!\u00a0 Comment quotas, Check.\u00a0 Are you keeping up?\u00a0 Make nice.\u00a0 Oh yeah, a search function<\/a> that gives you no useful data, but lots of images?\u00a0 We have that too!\u00a0\u00a0 We’re way ahead of you.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep up, chop chop!\u00a0 Geniuses skip your apostrophes<\/a>, it’s time to boogie.<\/p>\n

OH, I’m talking about the newest and stupidest offer<\/a> by a once great blog<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It wasn’t that long ago that the ‘nice’ folks at AG were an ideasphere, a\u00a0 kickass content focused blog with good writing and great ideas. Is it still even navigable?\u00a0 Hmm.\u00a0 I guess I must not be keeping up.<\/p>\n

But now, no dissent is tolerated, and everyone is an echo…and the writing<\/strong> that makes up weblogs is no longer featured.\u00a0 Nobody’s saying we should be at the bilous level of dementia that Barry Cunningham’s at, but let’s crack some skulls and reason together.\u00a0 It wasn’t that long ago at all that the folks there were contributing to the body and pushing ideas–not people–into the forefront.<\/p>\n

But, when you feel like you’ve arrived, and insist that you’re cool (get out of your reader, we’re so cool here), nothing good happens.\u00a0 Ego takes over, and we’re talking egotism<\/em>, not egoism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember: when you don’t agree with us, you’re being disagreeable.\u00a0 Our paper-thin-sense-of efficacy can’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 See, we have some really stupid time wasting ideas that aren’t well suited to an individual agent trying to sell 30 houses a year, or a loan officer who is surviving this business.\u00a0 We’ll live twit it all though, and every conference-turned-hookupfest Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
