In the NAR Bloggers Lounge…

by Jay Thompson on November 14, 2007

Here I sit in the “Bloggers Lounge” at the NAR Convention (provided courtesy of the Center for Realtor Technology).

There are a few folks here learning about blogging from Ian Smith with CRT. Nice guy, knowledgeable. Seems quite willing to tell folks about blogging, and they are eager to hear it. Only problem is he is talking WAY over most of the people’s heads. Point here is there are a bunch of agent types clamoring for info on blogging…

Personally, I’m using the opportunity to rest my feet.

Tony Grey from vidlisting.com and ForSaleByLocals blog just walked in. He’s a super nice guy and it was great meeting him!

The Convention has been quite an experience. There are a ton of exhibitors here, some with great products and interesting technology.

One of the things I’m finding most fascinating is the age distribution of the attendees. “Generations X & Y” seem to be conspicuously absent at least from the trade show floor. (The glaring exception of course is many of the vendors are quite young.)

I’ll have more later…

Even though NAR's conference was in my backyard this year, I was not able to attend. I've been visiting the bloggers lounge for a couple of years now and am remiss that I won't get the chance to catch up with those nice folks this time.

Say hi to everyone for me.

The fact that a lot of them want to start blogging shows that for every economic endeavor, the future would depend on blogging in some form or the other. Sadly, you have got it right in that most do not understand head or tail of it and struggle. If, blogging will become as simple as say MS word, or apple's mac when PCs were first introduced, and enabled people to start using them, blogging will revolutionize life as we know it.
