Marketing Real Estate on Facebook (and Other Social Networks) by Joel Burslem on Wednesday, May 2, 2007.
I’ll admit it. I’m hooked on Facebook. I somehow missed out the whole MySpace craze (thankfully, visiting a MySpace page now just makes my eyes hurt) - but Facebook has me hook, line and sinker.
Over on the Inman Blog, [...]
I was recently sent an email by a reader regarding Facebook’s take on placing real estate listings in its Marketplace. I thought it presented an interesting dilemma, so I’m reprinting here.
To summarize. Facebook, it seems, does not want Realtors placing their listings in its marketplace and will suspend the accounts of any persons caught doing [...]
…or One Week with Facebook Social Ads
The recent Facebook Beacon controversy aside (see Mark Zuckerberg’s Mea Culpa) - Facebook’s Social Ads are one of the most fascinating advertising platforms that has been introduced to the Web over the last little while.
When the platform launched, I posited that it could be a very precise way to [...]
Facebook’s latest release added all kinds of new functionality for advertisers who wish to use their platform - some of which is starting to trickle out. On the day of the release I asked the question, Where Are The Real Estate Fan-sumers? and today it’s time to throw down the gauntlet and try and get [...]

Parks Associates research confirm what many of us already know intuitively; few people would pay to use social networking sites.
This online survey of Internet users found 72% of social networking users would stop using a site if required to pay a $2 monthly fee.
Duh.
Monetizing their communities is the big problem facing real estate [...]
In my post Marketing Real Estate on Facebook (and Other Social Networks) I shared 5 ways you could passively market yourself (or your listings) on the popular social networking site.
I say passively because, for the most part, they all depend on you waiting for people to come to your profile and finding you. Personally, I’ve [...]
OK, not quite. But in what’s officially the first of what will surely be a long line to come (and no, I’m not talking about the folks lining up for an iPhone), UK property search engine Nestoria has just released a Nestoria Facebook Application.
It’s not a huge technical leap, but I’m impressed. Adding the Nestoria’s [...]
Drew Meyers is right. Facebook is Completely Changing the Internet. Mark Zuckerberg has said that he wants to build the first social media OS and with the F8 release last week, he’s done just that.
