I was pretty disappointed with CARs Tech Tuesday last fall.  I don't think they really get it.

Seems like Facebook is becoming a viable marketing site for our industry.

Pam, Thank you for the info, CAR gives many tools for us to use. I also heard from many Realtors that they loved Tech Tuesday, every year it gets better. It is very difficult to plan a Tech Fair that meets the needs of all the different technological levels of each person. It also takes a lot of planning, money and time. CAR is always looking for input from its members to make Tech Tuesday and the EXPO better. I know you were vice chair of Expo last year and I think all was very good! Keep up the good work

Interesting that CAR has done this. I wonder how many other state associations will follow.

Our Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors has done it....5% of members are on it and I forget to check it unless something is e-mailed to me.

Ted.....CAR is working on makeing a better Tech Tuesday and have programs that are more appealing and useful.

Derrick....yep, facebook has value to it and it does not hurt for us to appeal to it's consumers.

Jean....thank you for the comments.

Jay....it will be interesting to see.
