Derek Overbey — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:43:18 +0000

So I’m back from attending RE BarCamp San Diego and the 2009 REALTORS Conference & Expo in sunny San Diego. It was one of the best that I have ever attended from a content standpoint.

The Expo was a little smaller than in year’s past and there [...]

Here at Roost, we have embraced social media with open arms! But some people and companies still deny the impact that social media is having on the world around them. This is why I was so excited to come across this video that my friend @ribeezie (Ricardo Bueno) posted on Facebook.

This video will blow you out of the water and will hopefully provide a new perspective on what social media means to the world today and into [...]

So I was contemplating last night as I was adding Plurk to my repertoire of social media sites…Is this all worth it? Does it really pay off? Are the fruits of my labor going to reward me in the end? My answers to all are I really think so.

Social Networking and Real Estate

roostblog — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:57:38 +0000

We know how important social networking is becoming in our daily lives. Drew Izzo, CMO of Roost.com, and I attended SocialMediaCamp this last Tuesday and learned how social networking sites are being integrating into businesses everywhere. From Twitter to LinkedIn to Facebook, the world is becoming connected.

So I got a tweet this morning from Peter Cashmore at Mashable.com linking me to a post on their site titled “
