Just added the new RE/MAX Victory banner to the DABR and CincyMLS

I love Google! I even like saying it! It’s a crazy time in technology when a company name, Google, is used in our everyday vocabulary. “Google it” has become a more popular term than “search for it online” meaning Google has become a verb…lol crazy!

Anyway, I know many of you use Facebook, and less of you have become accustomed to tweeting on Twitter, but now there is a new “big kid” on the block as Google enters the Social Media game with Google Buzz. While I don’t think this will become your everyday replacement for either of those two powerhouses, I do believe that Google Buzz will have it’s place in the real estate game.

For those of you that didn’t or don’t know already, Google Base (formerly a real estate search) is now integrated into Google Maps under search options on the right hand side. Try it out for yourself!

So…how will this help you in real estate?

Well, and I know this may be a stretch, but I think it’s the ultimate goal for Google to integrate EVERYTHING. So when you have a property on Google For Sale, it will be identifiable on Google Maps. With the recent addition (after only a day) to mobile phones getting Buzz support to their Google Maps. This could mean that when people are searching for real estate on their phones, which is already happening. They are going to see reviews from others that have already been through that home. Seller’s beware, you may get more than you bargained for with the ultimate feedback forum!

As always, I’ll keep you posted as to how this pans out!

This is a fantastic article I found! Call to change your bill if you’re paying more than below!

The Ultimate Cell Phone Plans Comparison
Posted By Tony Adam On January 18, 2010 (2:05 pm)

On Friday, Verizon Wireless announced pricing plan restructuring that would reduce the cost of voice usage. AT&T Wireless quickly followed suit and unveiled their updated cell phone plans as well. Today is the day that those changes go into effect.

While both carriers announced these changes as efforts to simplify plans, the real truth behind the story is that the profits are in the data: Verizon’s revenue is now up 24% (they reported $15.8 billion in Q309), with 17% coming from data services.

I think that there is still a long way to go before it gets to a point where picking a cell phone plan is simple, even after these various many attempts by the carriers in 2009. There are still way too many plan combination.

This is our best attempt to simplify all of the plan combination and it was painful, but here it is, The Ultimate Cell Phone Plans Comparison:
