REBar Bellevue - Quick thoughts on the day

Rebar mini camp in Bellevue was good half day of information. There were some very informative attendees, good topics, an overall educational camp. I can see how these last a full day easily. We could have had quite a few more sessions.

I've heard more discussion lately of "levels" of classes needing to be offered. Some discussions get bogged down in beginner minutiae, which is great for those just learning to use the technologies. There aer a handful of real estate pros in these same sessions that could really pow-wow into a smaller group and discuss the higher-level issues they're working with. It might require some organization, and it's frankly amazing that the organizers can already make these sessions happen on the fly. It's a well-oiled machine, for something that goes from index cards to sessions in 10 minutes.

One great session today was Jim Reppond's "Twitter 201". There was no beginner stuff, just Twitter add-ons, advanced features, strategies for getting noticed, re-tweeted, etc. The group seemed very well-informed, and I think these kinds of sessions could keep more tech-savvy pros involved. We may just need to have at least one high-level session per hour, all day long.

Overall, nice work, folks, I enjoyed meeting some new faces and some old one that I've only ever seen online before.
