follr.com Sponsors Virtual REBarcamp

Following this week’s release of the follr.com Website, our sister company Social Gears today announced they are sponsoring the third Virtual REBarcamp, being held nationwide on April 6th.

Social Gears co-founder and CIO, Mark Wayman, stated:

“Having announced the release of the follr.com Website it seemed only natural that we support this great educational platform, especially off the back of AgencyLogic’s support for the first two virtual REBarcamp events.

Real estate, more than any other industry, is actively engaged in learning about and using many social tools. As a result, Realtors stand head and shoulders above others in business when it comes to appreciating the benefits of a free social business card.”

The follr.com social card is a new business tool, a card for the world we live in today. The product is a free Website that combines all online social activity streams and contact information into one easy contact solution. It additionally helps corporations protect their brands by leveraging follr.com’s corporate governance reporting functionality. Realtors will also be able to choose from either rlty.me or rlty.us domains when they promote their social touch points and services.

REBarcamp, an educational seminar often referred to as a ‘non-conference’, exploded in 2009. Anyone involved in real estate can attend an event to learn about social media, marketing and hear commentary about many other industry specific subjects from some of the best thought leaders in the industry. The Virtual REBarcamp takes the concept a step further by providing a nationwide event where attendees can participate from the comfort of their home or office.

    Announcing follr.com – Can You Help Us Test It?

    Stephen M. Fells

    Through our relationship with Social Gears, AgencyLogic has been asked to participate in a pre-launch effort to help test an amazing new product, follr.com – a social business card.

    What is a Social Business Card?

    These days we are all more than just a phone number, Website and email address. Many of us have created profiles on sites like Facebook, Active Rain, Zillow and Trulia as well as blogs and Twitter accounts. How do we effectively and efficiently communicate these important links to our clients and colleagues?

    By creating a follr.com account you have all these links in one short, easy to remember address. For the general public, the card address is typically follr.me (“Follow Me”) followed by their card name or personal brand. Social Gears however has created an enhanced version specifically for the Real Estate industry.

    The custom real estate version uses the ideal names RLTY.ME for agents and RLTY.US for brokerages and corporations. Short, relevant and highly memorable, it’s important to reserve your name now while it is still available to represent you and your personal brand.

    Social Card Features

  • Social identities (plural), current and future
  • Contact information
  • Personal description, links and optional video
  • Real-time Twitter stream and RSS feeds
  • Social sharing touch points
  • “Link Director” for consistent branding
  • SEO Control & Web statistics
  • Customizable features and design
  • Automatic PowerSite integration
  • Integrated Listings

    The inclusion of your property listings within your social card is important. If you are an AgencyLogic customer, all active PowerSites will be displayed on your Social Card via the “Listings” link for added exposure. By using PowerSites for each property in combination with your social card and our Facebook application your listings and your personal brand receive substantially more exposure.

    For the first time, there is one easy and memorable solution to appropriately representing you professionally via this ground breaking solution.

    Through our relationship with Social Gears AgencyLogic is very excited to be part of the initial launch but we need your help!
