linksI’ve decided to carry on with Drew’s “Links for Geeks” feature. I’ve identified a few gems from my feed reader that perhaps you haven’t seen in the past week.

How To Set Up a Self Hosted WP Blog
Steve at Zeek Interactive (The Company Behind Real Estate Shows) has a concise and simple outline for hosting your own WP blog at Go Daddy.

USB Wall Adapters
How many times have you wanted to charge your iPhone and felt too lazy to hunt down your adapter? This is a Geek “must have”.

GE Sells Supra
GE has sold the Supra system to a company you’ve probably never heard of. Not sure how this will have an impact on the future or your lock boxes. Hopefully the new company is innovative enough to start bringing some much needed technology improvements to the stalwart “holder of the keys”.

Food Not Forks
It’s still hard for this industry to come to grips with the fact that they look more like media companies and content publishers.  I watched a Keller Williams broker outline a web strategy yesterday in Austin that was about as comprehensive as it gets in contemporary real estate. It could have just easily been a VC pitch for a content publisher. Not much has changed recently. There is still entirely too much hand wringing and over thinking taking place when it comes to technology. It’s really not about the technology. Cameras don’t take great photos, the person behind the viewfinder does. The technology in the camera is never going to be capable of framing the shot of a lifetime. The creation and distribution of content being employed by The Good Life Team and others like them will become the bellwether by which brokers of the future will succeed. One of the more impressive moments of the presentation was learning that this company made an investment in Sales Force as a CRM tool. Business is still business and understanding the differences between tactics and strategy haven’t changed. 1000Watt says it again in this great post.
