RETech South Was a Huge Success

For those of you that were not at RETech South in Atlanta, GA, you missed out. Almost unbelievably Brad Nix and Matt Fagioli put together a full technology conference covering blogging, SEO, social networking, widgets, video and IDX services in less than a month.

For those of you that were not at RETech South in Atlanta, GA, you missed out. Almost unbelievably Brad Nix and Matt Fagioli put together a full technology conference covering blogging, SEO, social networking, widgets, video and IDX services in less than a month. The event was hosted by blogger and Domus Consulting Co-Founder, Kevin Boer who did a stellar job of keeping the conference entertaining with his unparalelled wit. RSS Pieces was lucky enough to have sponsored a portion of this kick-off event. I had a total blast sitting on the SEO panel discussing the downsides of recprocal links, 3 way links and blogroll. We also touched on how Realtors need to attract consumer traffic instead of Realtor traffic and how to safely build authority with Google through backlinks.

OK, I never do this, because I think it is L-A-M-E, but I am going to pass out link love to my dear friends in the industry that made RETech South a total blast:

Dustin Luther for livin' the Malibu lifestyle and hanging with celebrities and having the kind of stories you can tell on Letterman. And yes, he is way too cool for all of us.

Kevin Tomlinson for always stirring up trouble wherever he can with his mini diet cokes, popcorn and totally devious sense of humor. And yes, I am just using him for an intro to Ann Coulter.

Rudy (no last name necesary) for catching my ode to Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon on camera and being such a trooper even though he lost his voice

Mike Simonson for having the personality of a rockstar and keeping me entertained. He is one cool cat!

Pat Kitano for always being such a cool and sharing visionary in the industry and taking time to sit down and chat

Jonathan Washburn for keeping the rest of the motley crew just slightly grounded. Congrats to the whole ActiveRain crew for their successes!

AND A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO TOM OF THE REAL ESTATE BLOGGERS FOR SAVING RUDY AND I FROM M.A.R.T.A. AND TAKING US TO THE AIRPORT!

The Sarah Silverman Video for those of you that missed it:
