Because there’s so much information to share, I though it would be beneficial for those interested in photography to have a place to display listing photos and discuss topics pertaining to real estate.  Truly, there’s no better place to talk and share photography than on Flickr.  So I’ve created a group for our members to join, or anyone else who has an interest in this photographic niche.

If you’re a Flickr member already than you can easily join the group for free.  If not, you can create a Flickr account for free from their homepage.  Even if you have no immediate photos that you’d like to share, why not become a member anyways and start a discussion?  Perhaps you want to purchase a new camera and you need advice, or you found a Photoshop plugin that works like a charm on interior shots!

Hope to see some new members soon!  The more people there are, the more fun!

I anticipated that the results of this survey could be used in the print edition of The Point which came out this month – and you may have picked up if you were lucky enough to attend NAR in Orlando last week.

However, as it turns out, we simply had too much awesome content already scheduled to go to print. Which means that I get the pleasure of sharing the results with you – readers of the blogosphere!

Note: In order to view the results, you need flash!

From the results it is clear that Facebook is easily the most popular service, and judging by the commentary I have read, this comes as no surprise since Canada leads Facebook usage globally.

Another result worth mentioning is the surprising popularity of Windows Live Spaces – I was under the impression that no one really used this platform outside of an extension for MSN Live Messenger – but I guess I was wrong. You learn something new every day!

Finally, I was surprised by the adoption of Flickr amongst respondents. Well, actually, let me clarify. It is not surprising that people actually use Flickr over competing services (they do have over 3 billion images for a reason). But rather the fact that when I followed up with them, a surprisingly majority had Flickr Pro accounts – a paid, premium version of the service.

This signals to me that if you create a focused product, that does one like very well – like our Point2 Agent product does with syndication – people are always willing to pay for it. Which of course makes me one happy camper

What sites/services do you use on a daily basis?
