Right now there is a small core group looking at the feasibility of a real estate bar camp in the Atlanta area.  If we can put it together, the event will be held this fall… September or October is the likely time frame.

Here are a couple of posts on Active Rain with more info about #rebcATL (that is the ‘official’ Twitter hashtag for the event).

• Should Atlanta have a reBarCamp?

• A little more about an Atlanta rebarcamp

On the second link there is a webform asking about what you might want for a rebc.  We’d love to get your feedback in order to make a better experience for everyone.  It also give you the opportunity to volunteer…  There will be lots of opportunities for volunteers from now until the event concludes… and then I’m sure planning will need to begin for the 2011 #rebcATL.

We are also putting together a FaceBook Official Page for #rebcATL.

Some readers may know that I am an Active Rain Ambassador.  In that role, I have started a series on the basics that new members of that real estate social network might find helpful.

Most of us have learned by trial and error how to best leverage and utilize Active Rain, and some of that hard-earned knowledge is contained in the series.  It is also being expanded regularly, as I get time and new technologies and techniques make their appearance…

Check it out and enjoy.

Analysis Paralysis…

If you haven’t heard the statement, it is summing up the “Ready, Aim Fire, Aim Fire, Aim” menality.  Basically, spending forever making the plan, and then never following through and actually “doing” the plan.

And then…

There is the opposite side of the coin…  “Ready, Fire, Aim”.  That doesn’t work, either.  You can’t do the plan before you make the plan…

But in the middle…

There is a balance where we analyze AND act.  And this is about the analytics.
