ASAP Social Networking Strategy

 

Several months ago, I set up a Ning site for The Real Estate Cafe after we were quoted in a story by Boston Globe Magazine article entitled, "Talking about a Revolution."

 

What is the best way to use social networking, and user groups the Grasshopper Ning site to help seed the "Million Dollar March," a friendly, annual fundraising competition for AIDS orphans between home buyers and sellers in different cities across the US?

 

I've included some background text in my <a href="http://grasshoppers.ning.com/profile/bwendel">Grasshopper profile</a>.

 

My dream scenario would be to create a real estate version of BarCamp / PodCamp, to help launch <a href="http://web.mac.com/recafe/iWeb/ASAP/ASAP%20slides.html">ASAP: AIDS Shelter Alliance Partners</a> (which is like a <a href="http://realestatecafe.blogs.com/real_estate_cafe/2007/03/creating_a_real_1.html">real estate version of (product)RED</a>. Great way to celebrate an important annniversary. Ralph Nader appeared at The Real Estate Cafe eleven years ago today, and Boston.com carried the event "live" a chat on their web site.

 

At a minimum, I hope to use the anniversary to launch the <a href+"http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=25383&talkCastId=25383">TalkShoe site</a> I've already set up, and over time <a href="http://realestatecafe.pbwiki.com/Experimental+Calendar>use this calendar</a>, to revisit the reform agenda real estate consumer advocates <a href="http://realestatecafe.pbwiki.com/Unconference">discussed in 1993</a>, the first time we hosted Nader in Boston.

 

I'm still interested in renovating this <a href="http://www.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view/191345/>ice cream truck</a>, and invite 20 best of breed, money-saving business models -- 10 for buyers and 10 for sellers -- to use the mobile mapping / podcasting studio to spread their message through curbside seminars at block parties, open houses, special events, and the mother of all marketing opportunities this Fall -- tailgating outside college football stadiums.

 

Any ideas about next steps, including how I might fold this idea into existing PodCamps, or if we can create a revenue, hire you as a consultant?
