Well, well. My first day to howl and what perfect timing. This morning the Realty Times had an article called “Dog Blog 1.0<\/a>“. I am the owner of two dogs that frequently order toys and other strange things on the internet, so of course, I read it.<\/p>\n

Let me save you some time here and let you know that columnist David Reed is putting us all on notice that the blog is dead. Yep. It seems there are just too many of us. He has lots of numbers to suport this, of course. It seems David was the very first person to ever have a web page waaaayyy back in 1996 or so. Gee, so cutting edge.<\/p>\n

It seems that there are 6.5 trillion people on Earth and 6.5 trillion blogs, so we are all lost. However will we find each other, Will Robinson?? David’s words of wisdom are “If someone tells you you need a blog, you are already too late.” We need to go back to actually shaking hands with people. (Eeeuuuwwww)<\/p>\n

Well, David, it seems people are<\/em> making connections all over the place, in spite of you being lost. Perhaps you need an internet GPS so you can make your way back home. Blogging is relaxing, fun, and a valuable source of interaction among like-minded folks. Communities. As a marketing tool, blogging allows for an informal way for an entire generation of people that really don’t want to shake hands, they just want a house. And they want to use someone they feel they can connect with.<\/p>\n

Like it or not, David, most people start their home search on-line. Here in sunny Florida, a great deal of my clients are moving here because of the weather, cost of living, etc. On a local level, how can I reach that couple in Michigan with a static web site? If you are lost, don’t blame it on the internet.<\/p>\n

But that’s just me.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
