Tonight I am taking a break from the email madness that has engulfed us all for the last few days. I thank you all for your patience and assistance. Moving that email cheese was a a big deal. In future challenges we will learn more about the new system and the great features it offers, but for now let’s talk about RSS.
RSS is an acronym for Real Simple Syndication. Here is a great video to grasp the basic concept…
RSS has tremendous implications for real estate. The obvious one from watching the video is subscribing to things you like to read – like blogs, news sites, etc. Think of a magazine or a newspaper subscription, but without paper or mail. Interested?
There are 2 ways to subscribe to RSS feeds. The first is via email. All you need to do is fill in your email address and viola! any new articles appear in your email box for you to read when you want. The EWM Blog has just such a box
But not every site has email subscriptions, so you will have to have a feed reader (think online magazine rack) where you can go to read all of your favorites. A great place to start is
Google Reader. Here is another video on how to set up the Google Feed Reader.
So now… what to read? Here are a few of my favorites to add to your new feed reader account:( Just put the name in the Add Subscription box in the google feed reader and chose the feed)
Real Estate Blogs:
Real Estate Tomato
1000 Watt Blog
Real Estate Coconut
South Beach Condo Blog
EWM Blog
Luxury Portfolio
Technology Blogs:
Gizmodo
Life Hacker
Tech Crunch
Every major newspaper has feeds as well – so try
Miami Herald
Sun Sentinel
New York Times
Wall Street Journal
Amazing how much you can learn just by reading! Have some favorites you want to share? Please do.
