    Default How best can web 2.0 be used for real estate business?

    Web 2.0 is to some extent a lot of hype, but there are interesting features that the concept has. One key characteristic that is seen in Web 2.0 is the participation of users in generating content – be it text, images or video. For mainly textual content, we have sites such as Wikipedia (encyclopedia), Digg (user generated news), Del.icio.us (social bookmarking) etc. For videos we have YouTube, for pictures we have Flickr…and so on…

    My question is how best can the Web 2.0 phenomenon be used by a small real estate business?

    Some of the responses I had received at a couple of other message boards and my friends in the tech industry are:
    • Start a blog and make it interactive…promote your business using the blog
    • Do regular postings to citizen journalism sites such as Digg and Reddit
    • Social bookmark all my web pages like crazy
    • Post viral videos on YouTube
    • Contribute to Wikipedia and include your link in that page
    • Use message boards to initiate useful topics and also participate actively in the relevant message board discussions…
    While these are no doubt interesting and I’m using some of these, are there other methods members can think of by which Web 2.0 technologies and concepts can be used by a small real estate business to succeed and flourish?
