Ok, this years Connect conference was awfully busy for us at Incredible Agent. There was plenty to do and lots of people to meet and catch up with.

As always, there are lots of take aways from Connect. Here are a few things we learned this year…
1. BS is marketing 1.0
2. User Generated Content(UGC) is marketing 2.0
3. Your online reputation will replace your resume.
4. Web 2.0 started on some island in the South Pacific in 1917. (Kula! Kula! Kula!)
5. Blogging is getting bigger. Much Bigger!
6. Being a Geek is cooler than it was in High School. (www.GeekEstateBlog.com)
7. There are lots of features being created and not many businesses.
8. Everyone is a competitor and some are friendlier than others.
9. Business is still about people and face to face introductions.
10. There are plenty of small ideas, but very few big ones.
11. Our industry is panicked with excitement.

Overall, it was a very good conference. Last year, there were some companies in the audience that were under the radar who showed up big at this conference. It makes me wonder which companies were under the radar this year and will be big next year. Hmmm??? We’ll have to wait and see.
