Blogging Etiquette Resources

In Blogging on Aug 08 by jason

Like in most arenas, there are a number of seemingly unwrittens rules of conduct for blogging. My question is “Are they really unwritten?”. Well to answer that, I did a quick search for “blogging etiquette” and found that, yes, they are written.

If you’re even a bit curious about how to properly blog, check out these resources (Don’t worry, they’re not all serious):

By now, you should know the importance of lots of photos for real estate. Well, digitalTHOM put together a few ideas to accomplish it using Flickr.

Even if you’ve used Flickr before, check out his ideas. I find that getting fresh (okay about 5 months old) ideas help to keep my creative juices flowing. Here’s the summary:

  • Use Flickr for listings
  • Use Flickr for showings to refresh buyers’ memories
  • Use Flickr for virtual tours for out of area buyers
  • Use Flickr for neighborhood tours
  • Use Flickr to save disk space and bandwidth

Thin Offices

In Technology on Aug 01 by jason

Ncomputing may be changing the look of your office with their line of thin client products. Thin clients are nothing new. What is so innovative about Ncomputing’s solutions are the packaging (No, not fancy boxes and wrapping).

Thin clients up to this point have required, at minimum, a dummy computer. This dummy terminal would boot up from a network server without the need for a hard drive. Once booted, the terminal can run any software from the network server. This usually means less maintenance and easier management.

The Ncomputing difference

Ncomputing has eliminated the need for a spare PC and consolidated the necessary hardware into a neat little box that’s plug-n-play. They have multiple options, but the one I’m mosted interested in is their "All in One" solution.

Lucky me. I have the opportunity to test the All in One ELM-1700ND in action. The ELM-1700ND is Ncomputing’s thin client LCD screen. To get up and running all you do is hook up the device to your keyboard, mouse, and network. Done.

I’m expecting this slick piece of hardware to hit my office floor by the end of the week. I’ll keep you all updated.

Can you picture the potential?
