Web Camp

Introducing a better way to work the web.

Today I’m launching a new venture called Web Camp. To some this will be really special. I say ‘some’ because it’s not for everyone. Web Camp is an advanced 4-day camp where we, (I emphasize ‘we’ meaning up to 8 Campers) build a complete online marketing platform.

This isn’t a watered-down generic, one-size fits all opportunity. Instead Web Camp is an advanced and intense 4-days focused on results for a few passionate, fun, smart business people.

Your Brain At Work

After reading 17 books so far this year “Your Brain at Work” by Dr. David Rock has been the most impactful. I discovered the book thru this video of the author giving a talk/presentation at Google.  This is a terrific presentation that’s helpful in understanding why people act the way they do at work and the underlying motivations to those actions. After watching the video I immediately bought the book.

For the longest time I’ve wanted to create a space for my photos that I own & control. Online services like Flickr are great for some things like reaching other photographers but they don’t offer the level of presentation & extensibility of a full website site.

Gary Vaynerchuk

I had a blast putting on the Future of Real Estate Marketing conference here in Steamboat. More importantly I was really lucky to meet and interact with a lot of fun, forward thinking people during the day.
I also had a great experience working with Gary & his crew in getting this video together for the conference.

Give this video a spin. Gary calls it like he sees it and gives some no-nonsense advice to those in real estate.

New Twitter Resource in the Labs

Written by on February 8, 2010 in Marketing - No Comments

I’m always interested in how people use Twitter and it seems there’s a lot of experimentation going on. Twitter was smart to open an API early as this allowed developers the chance to create all sorts of ways to deliver Twitter content.

One of the most interesting aspects of Twitter is live search. Through the use of live search we can, for the first time, “listen in” on public conversations. It’s that ability to listen to what’s being discussed on just about any topic that makes Twitter such a powerful medium.  We can search for just about any keyword and get instant results of what’s being said right now.

So I set up a page that gives you real-time, auto-refreshing search results of Twitter real estate terms. The default results are from the phrase “real estate” and with a click of a link  you can narrow the results to Colorado & Steamboat real estate. Plus I added a search box to view the results for any term you like.

Click to check it out.

What do you think? Is Twitter being used in an effective way to engage people? If you were in the market would this be a helpful medium?
