I have not been that generous with linking to other blogs and sources lately. Something I will work hard to change in 2009. The reason I am publishing these “link posts” is to recognize the outstanding work by other bloggers and writers. I need to know about your blog in order to ever link to you in the future.
- Home Mortgage Rates Expected To Drop Below 5% Soon– Very good news in the form of lower home loan rates is beginning to unfold across the nation. After peaking just above 6% in Spring 2008, rates are currently just above 5% and expected to continue to fall over the weeks ahead.

- Answers Answers Answers -I’m a big fan of engaging consumers online and answering their questions as a marketing strategy (see Impart your Wisdom with Answers). It’s not a new strategy, not particularly inventive, but it is effective. Really, it’s win-win all around. For consumers they get what they want (i.e. the answers to their questions). Realtors and brokers get to build relationships with potential clients in an neutral forum with people that may never seek them out on their own web sites. And for publishers it’s a great way to build up engagement/stickiness through cheap (read, free) user-generated content.

We share similar goals for 2009, Vlad! I'm planning to redouble my efforts to reconnect with people this year and share the link love wherever and whenever I can, but within reason. I get so caught up in writing, that I seem to miss the social side of the internet!
