Many customers have been asking when I am going to be launching LEC (Limited Edition Custom) version 6 and if they can pre-purchase it and lock up the exclusive for thier markets. The answer is I began development this week - and I am planning for a maximum of 3 months total development time. I leaked this information to my sales people on Tuesday, and several markets / LEC 6's have already been snapped up, even before I made the official announcement. Just like all the LEC's this product is ... Read Full Post

I just posted this as a comment on the NAR blog, but I thought that it probably deserved it's own post as it really should be directed at MIBOR and not NAR - basically we all know the change to the IDX verbiage will be passed it's just a matter of due dilligence (can't blame NAR for that I suppose) but it's also going to take time - all the while, we are stuck without indexable pages until this ruling passes (we being Paula Henry / Mike Taylor of http://www.reddoorindy.com and myself - yes, I...

Many of you read over at Agent Genius about how MIBOR (The local board of Realtors in Indianapolis) has demanded that all IDX vendors stop Google and other search engines from spidering any page of a Realtors website that has IDX listings or any part of the data referencing listings (such as property descriptions, MLS #'s or addresses) - this is with the exception of just the agents own listings of course.

Ok this just made me laugh. I was over at AR (for whatever reason I have no idea, it's not like I ever post there anymore) and there was yet another feature post "promoting active rain" - imagine that - kiss active rains ass to get on the homepage - wish I was a rainmaker. In the article the poster writes: "Ok I'll tell you a better reason to join Active Rain... Active Rain gives you the power to advertise yourself anywhere on the internet. The exposure you get from Active Rain is second to n... Read Full Post
