    That's actually a nice list. Maybe the forums would benefit from this being a sticky?

    I'm not a member of all the sites, but have found that all are great networking sites. I wish I had more time in the day to network but have to save a little time to sell real estate!

    I know that's right, its easy to get distracted and not focus on what actually makes us money.

    I am not sure realestatebloggers and the Tomato belong there as they are not really networking sites, perhaps I am wrong but I don't think you can contribute or participate in either aside from commenting, which makes them real estate related blogs, not networking sites. Good sites to be sure, but not really social networking.

    I agree, realestatebloggers is more of a blog directory of nationwide resources and tomato is more informational to assist with building a better real estate blog.

    Right, but once again, there is nothing networking specific about them, good resources, but not social networking websites. Might want to edit them out of your list, to keep it consistent.

    Great information... Thanks for sharing them. Would anyone like to rank them in order of importance/value?? That way with limited time, agents could focus on the best.

    Well REW is the #1 social networking website for Real Estate, everyone knows that But you are already here, so you already know that

    Active Rain would be my second choice for the content contributions, their pages rank well, and so will your blog posts and contributed local content.

    For your own blogs, technorati is a must, delicious I don't use much myself.

    Wannanetwork is not an authority of any kind from what I have seen, and way to much like myspace for my liking, but they are putting in a lot of hours, so who knows, they might become worthy of a top listing some time in the future. Mostly they are trying to work on their userbase right now, but other than the mods, there doesn't seem to be to many contributors with much in the way of insightful contributions

    Ryze - have never looked at them.

    Although not real estate related, I am surprised www.digg.com was not mentioned in that list, user rated content is always nice, and it can be good for getting tech savvy people to see what you have to say.
