REBlogworld Kicks Off Friday. MLBroadcast To Sponsor.

It's 2 am on Thursday and I am sitting here in the pitch black darkness except for the glow of a generator powered MacBook. Hurricane Ike has much of the Houston and surrounding area still without power. It's been one hell of a week and as Jeff Turner mentioned to me, I'm going to need to go to Vegas just to get rest. That's something you don't hear too often :)

I'm really looking forward to both Real Estate Blog World and the Blog World Expo. I'm extremely impressed with the sessions and the speaker line up. I will be sharing a presentation stage with Daniel Rothamel of The Real Estate Zebra and Morgan Brown of TurnHere to discuss the Why, How and Distribution of RE Video Content (Officially Titled: Video Marketing tools & strategies to help your business go viral). I've had a peak at my co-panelists' presentation decks, this should be one of the better sessions of the event! Matt Fagioli of Diamond Dwellings is moderating and has done a super job of getting prepared ahead of the event.

MLBroadcast is proud to also announce that we will be joining Trulia, Zillow, and TurnHere as sponsors of the event. We're honored to join this stellar group in supporting what promises to be a great first year event with many more to follow. Todd and JB have been working their butts off and I'm rooting for them to hit a home run. To use a Vegas analogy, I'd make book on it.

I wanted to offer my readers who won't be attending an opportunity to get questions in front of the moderators and speakers. I had hoped to pen this post earlier in the week, so if you would please Digg, Facebook or share it in your favorite way with the RE professionals in your network. I would appreciate it. Take a look at the sessions and then drop back here to pose any questions you might have as a comment. I will be sure to get them to the right place for you. You can also send your question via Twitter during the event as I will be trying to live blog as much as I can. I'll do what I can to get your answers and provide them in the form of a follow up post upon my return.

Once again, If you're an MLB client, we are working to get caught up as fast as we can. Normal production times should be back on track Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for your patience.

REBlog World - Podcast w/ Todd Carpenter

BlogWorld is the world's largest conference expo dedicated to blogging. When Todd Carpenter and Jason Berman attended the event last year they were amazed at the size and diversity of the event. They were also amazed that Real Estate was a vertical woefully under represented. The idea to team up with the folks at Blog World was hatched and the result is REBlogWorld. Here's a snippet from the BlogWorld site.

If you blog, dabble in new media, are a full time digital communications junkie ... or just dream of getting your feet wet in this phenomenon with a 6,000% growth rate ... you have to be at BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas, September 20 & 21, 2008. Join more than 4 million bloggers who know this industry is going to continue to grow ... and want play an active role. Don't be left behind ... attend the show to secure and further your stake in the Blogosphere!

REBlogWorld is co-located with BlogWorld and will take place on September 19th in Las Vegas. Todd and Jason have pulled together a stellar crew of speakers and topics. If you're a real estate blogger you will not want to miss it. The price of admission gets you into the entire Blog World event and from what I've heard about last year's show it's worth every penny. I'll be on a real estate video panel with my new friend Morgan Brown from The Blown Mortgage Blog and Turn Here and my old friend Daniel Rothamel, aka The Real Estate Zebra. I spent some time with Todd to produce a podcast interview that should answer any questions you have about REBlogWorld. Check it out below. I hope to see you in Vegas next month!
