The Pro really likes the Flickr Webimager and its about time it got updated. Its a great tool for saving bits of the web and info without having to download entire web pages or copy and pasting text. flickr and webimager application Real Estate bloggers could find it very useful for things like keeping track of one's personal linkages, if only it worked the way it was intended. Remember several months back when i mentioned it as a cool hacking tool? Well, despite the numerous other screen shot grabber gadgets and gizmos out there these days, Flickr Webimager still remains as my favorite for many reasons. I'll tell you why:
    • Its lite and rests in your systems tray (unlike most others which are embedded in your browser)
    • it can be used to create bitmaps of images on the web (which you can turn into jpegs in photoshop)
    • you can adjust the size of your captured image right within the window
    • you can modify the image using Microsoft Paint by exporting it
    I'll even go as far as to say that I use it every single day, for all sorts of things!  The problem that I have with it is that you can't find who created it, its never updated and worst of all, it doesn't even do what it was created and intended to do. Namely, allow you to upload screenshots consistently to your Flickr account. The process usually goes like this:
    1. Create a screenshot
    2. Attempt to upload the screenshot
    3. Go through the whole process of allowing WebImager access your Flickr account
    4. Upload one screenshot
    5. Then get error after error stating that your Flickr account can't be verified.
    I can hardly believe that the creators of WebImager intended for us to only be allowed to upload one damn image.  In order to upload more than one image these days, you have to actually save the photo to a folder (which subsequently requires you to press a button which reads "Open" instead of "Save" when attempting to save it) then open it with photoshop or similar program and save the image as .jpeg, .gif  and the like, then upload it to Flickr.  Too much work for a Web 2.0 tool.  Its impossible to track down a forum, it hasn't been updated since its creation (i don't believe) and the Pro thinks it should be.  Has anyone else had the same or similar problem?

    Looking for a quick way to keep track of yourself?  Sure, all Pros need little help finding themselves from time to time.  In the world of Web 2.0, taking care of yourself is the name of the game!  Well, today this Pro stumbled upon a new tool that is sure to keep you in check.  Its called Jott and its a voice powered, hands-free way to send messages and to do lists to yourself.  Every real estate agent at one time or another gets the cart before the horse....well, with Jott, this actually works to your advantage. 

    Ways that i think this application will prove useful:
    Reminders
    -call important clients
    -leads that you acquire in passing
    -important addresses that you want to remember
    -deadlines
    -paperwork
    Information
    -phone numbers that you shouldn't forget
    -important details about property
    -keeping track of new listings
    -epiphanies while in the field (ahh...i didn't know Mr. SoandSo owned that too!)

    The possibilities are endless....that's why this Pro felt it might be a good productivity related tool to pass along.  Got any cool tools or tips you'd like to pass along to real estate pros such as yourself?  Do so...there's a big blank comment area below, just waiting for your insight!  Good Luck Pros!

Remember way back (last July) when Viewr was coming on the scene?  Well, Pro just received word that there's been yet another hefty update over at Viewr and this one is HUGE!  The site now can now do Rentals, Vacation Rentals, Holiday Apartment Complexes (European term) and Multi Family.  The site is geared towards a global view of real estate- or as they put it, "People, Places and Property."  Viewr is becoming more and more customizable, allowing an agent to express as much or as little of their personality as they see fit.
    The image “http://dev.viewr.com/images/register_ill.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
    There's very little limitation to what this site can do- and where it can cover!   For example, there are Cave Houses in France, Spain, Turkey, Greece and others. Many of them are associated with a kind of peoples called Troglodytes.
    Check these out:
      http://www.viewr.com/search.property.html?vlsn=1000731
      http://www.viewr.com/search.property.html?vlsn=1000725
      http://www.viewr.com/search.property.html?vlsn=1000729

      As with all Web 2.0, the user determines. Everyone gets a My Viewr account management interface that allows the user to customize many aspects of how their listings are presented.  Agents can upload a picture of themselves (if they wish) and a branded logo of the company which they represent.  Give it a whirl, Pros!  Lemme know what you think!

    Coming soon:  Pro will let you in on a secret regarding a certain Viewr contest that you're sure to digg!

    Wanna create Virtual Tours like a PRO?  Integrate them into your blog or website?  Lifehacker told us last week about this kick ass new website called Mapwing and let this Pro be the first (ok, second) to tell you, It Kicks Ass. 
    mapwing.png

    Mapwing simplifies all of the hassles involved with creating real estate VR tours.  No stitching of panoramics. No learning code in order to embed the 360 pano thingy.  None of that crap that you have to pay web designers bizillions of dollars to do for you.  Just follow the instructions to the T and you'll end up with a terrific looking floorplan with integrated Virtual Tour.  In the end you'll have the option of embedding it within your own website or emailing it to your clients! Its the perfect blog marketing tool.


    Create newsletters on the Fly with Letterpop [found via Lifehacker] This is an AMAZING tool!  Look at the newsletter that I created for my father's surveying equipment supply company in South Carolina here.  This is perfect for real estate agents because you have so much flexibility with how photos and text can be displayed, you can have multiple pages and instantly email the newsletter to up to 500 people.  Give it a whirl!

    A hefty list of blog resources can be found over here at Daily Blog Tips Blog.  You should definately subscribe to this blog's RSS because it always comes packin!'

The next highly anticipated real estate tool is finally available for your blogging and listing pleasure, dear real estate blog pros. We heard about Viewr back in July, with an update a month or so back and let's just say that the suspense has killed at least one of us.   With Viewr, agents will have a place to blog about their properties (or whatever else) and upload video content via  Video Egg software.  So far, the Pro likes it!

    Viewr has a "global view on real estate" and the maps to prove it.  The (oh so very Web 2.0)interface is smooth and easy to use (so far). You can save your searched and your favorite listings.  It could be a good friend to a lot of you aspiring Pros out there.  Give it a whirl- set up a blog...see whats out there.  For god's sake, have fun for once!  Maybe real estate isn't such a drag afterall...just maybe.

    I know, I know...sites with forums and bookmarking and maps and such are all over the place these days.  So what's one more gonna hurt- right?  Well, so far it looks like there could be something a little different that may prove to be useful to some of you real estate blog Pros out there.  Give it a whirl and let this Pro know what you think.
    I took the liberty of trying out a new polling tool from Polldaddy (which is pretty cool and terrifically easy to use).  Try it yourself on your blog if you like.  It's easy as 1..2..3

    Probably.  And this tool will tell you if you are helping someone charge too much (or too little)...or rather, more than others in the area. Rentometer gives you a visual representation of your rent versus the regional median.  How snazzy is that?  Well...Pro predicts that it could be a pretty useful tool in NYC, if only they made it work in about 30 different languages and steered clear of information taken from brokers.  NYC real estate can be a dirty game.  Hope this helps you in your area, Pros!

At least thats what the hope is....in fact, I can't wait for the next BIG thing to happen. Its like i'm stuck in a real estate world filled with little things that at times seem to barely even happen at all. That's where Plotzz will come in (I assume).  This will be exciting for i've grown tired of being/ becoming the Pro at little things.  Plotzz is VERY  web2.0...all the way down to the reflective logo effect shadow  thing that  has become so popular (as seen below). 

    But what the hell is it?  Who knows.  I suppose online real estate has evolved into a game of "who dunnit" or "who will do it first?"  I suppose we have Zillow to thank for making real estate into something more like Clue.



    By the way, I've had an update on Viewr and it's looking pretty interesting.  Too bad I can't tell you more about it.  I suppose that this is suppose to be fun, somehow.  Perhaps its the most fun that anyone can really have in respect to real estate.

    On that note, if anyone out there is having other types of real estate fun, DON"T TELL US!
     Please respect our right to depression.

    If any body out there has tips for aspiring real estate blog pros, spill it!  But don't tell us too much, whatever you do.  We might not know how to handle it.
