Daniel Rothamel made a UStream video of Todd Carpenter’s appearance yesterday at REBarCamp Virginia<\/a>. Todd acquitted himself fairly well, only now and then sounding like an oily, evasive politician. His mien was perfect: Middle-management nerd, which is his newly-assigned role.<\/p>\n

His boss, Hillary Marsh, also spoke, and she was a lot less encouraging. She clearly sees social media — essentially Twitter to her — as yet another spam channel for NAR agitprop blather. Here’s how it is: People don’t respond to the NAR’s ActionSpams, but it’s not because they hate the NAR and despise its continual abuse of the political process. No, it’s because they’re not being spammed enough.<\/em> Yeesh!<\/p>\n

There was a long discussion about NAR responsiveness, but it boils down to this: You will become one with The Borg. The NAR will be happy to listen to your complaints as long as you don’t have any. Nothing new…<\/p>\n

Matt Carter has a killer two-parter on Move’s failed attempt to acquire ActiveRain and AR’s subsequent lawsuit against Move:<\/a><\/p>\n

By the time the deal fell through in May 2007, the window of opportunity for ActiveRain’s founders to cash in on their site’s success had closed, attorneys for the company claimed. In an August 2007 lawsuit ActiveRain sought $33 million in damages, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, unfair competition, fraud and deceit.<\/p>\n

Last month, attorneys for Move and ActiveRain said a settlement had been reached in which each side would bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. They asked U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson to dismiss the case “with prejudice” — meaning ActiveRain would be barred from filing another suit making the same claim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was interesting to me: While he was employed by Move, Inc., Dustin Luther was casting about for ways to pimp the RE.net to Move:<\/p>\n

Move had hired a prominent real estate blogger, Dustin Luther, and developed a set of company blogs. A team under Samuelson was working to develop more sophisticated blogging and social networking capabilities for Move.<\/p>\n

Realtors are “probably our largest untapped resource,” Luther said in a Nov. 1, 2006, e-mail to Move’s then-CEO Mike Long. “There are hundreds (if not thousands) Read more<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
