Georgia Reator Magazine Article - Real Estate Blogging a Tool for Success - A Plug for ActiveRain

Georgia Association of Realtors I had a few people contact me this week about the latest issue  of the Georgia Realtor Magazine (January / February 2008) and about an article that was included in the issue (P. 15-16) about real estate Blogging as a tool for Success.  As I started reading it, I had the feeling of Deja Vu!  LOL!  It was way too familiar, and I actually had to go back to my articles that I write for http://www.realtytimes.com/ and look for something similar I wrote!  Low and behold it was my article they were running as one of the featured stories with permission from http://www.realtytimes.com/ . Maybe I am getting too old for this, but I forgot all about the article "Real Estate Blogging a Tool for Success."  When I looked at the end of the article there it was the full credits!  LOL!  But right next to the article was a promotion they had placed with the benefits of http://www.activerain.com/  I am a major proponent of the benefits of ActiveRain when I do my real estate seminars!  They are right!  There are benefits, and the Georgia Association of Realtors have formed a group on Active Rain called the Georgia Association of Realtors.

I saw it when it came today in the mail.  I haven't had a chance to really go through it, but as I was sitting at the table I made a comment (Cool, there's Jim Crawford's article) and my son wanted to see it.  He's three, and didn't get it.  But, I still think it was a cool little surprise to find one of the cover stories written by someone here.

Jim,

Seems like everyone is waking up to the new netowrk-how long before the state Realtor association has its own blog?

Gonna talk them into it?
