What are the coolest websites you've seen lately? Please list them in the form http://www.dnai.com/g-think/$$tablecontents.html so folks on the web can click on your links. And save listing your own website or website projects for the next item, which is more along the lines of shameless self promotion.

Tips for Using the Web Buying and Selling Real Estate Online By Clay Hathorn Aiming to appeal to a metropolitan New York clientele, Donna White figured that a two-line newspaper ad to sell her suburban house that basically said "3-bdr in Aberdeen, New Jersey" seemed a little flat. So she dressed up her marketing a bit, listing the house in an online service with a Web-site ad that begins this way: "Pristine custom contemporary with water views: Lounge as sailboats pass this custom ranch with professional landscaping, diagonal tongue-and-groove cedar siding." Even if you're unclear about the "diagonal tongue-and-groove" (a way of fitting the siding together), the place sounds pretty swanky, huh? "That's what's great about marketing on the Internet," says White, who lives in Deerfield, Florida. "You're not limited in what you can say. You can write up the character of the house. Show a picture. Where else could you put an ad like that and have exposure to anyone, anywhere? It would cost a fortune." Prospective buyers worldwide can view Donna White's three-bedroom house, for sale on the WWW. White is one of the growing number of people turning to the World Wide Web to help them buy or sell a house. The reasons to try the Web are numerous: Sellers can provide many more enticing details ("lounge as sailboats pass") at a much lower cost than in newspaper ads and can reach people anywhere; buyers can explore real estate options at their convenience on their own computer. But don't get the wrong idea: Although the Internet offers many options for real estate, it's probably not wise for a seller to rely solely an Internet listing or for a buyer only to peruse the Web for homes. Not only is the Internet still a secondary source for most buyers and sellers, but the Web lacks the emotional wallop needed to bring about a home sale. "Nobody buys a house from a brochure," says Jody Lane, who runs the Realty Locator site, an online listing of homes for sale. "It's the same thing on the Internet." Yet as a supplement to marketing or a great way to find homes, the Web is proving to be a valuable medium. "It's a good tool to use with other advertising," says White. "Not everyone in the whole world is computer literate. But on the Web you're open to the whole wide world." Selling So for home sellers who are willing to try the Web, what's next? Well, you have two broad options: enlisting an agent or selling the home yourself. The Web is making more attractive the "for-sale-by-owner" option, known as FSBO (or, as those with the lingo say, "fizzbo"). Traditionally, roughly 15 to 20 percent of home sellers go this route, mostly to avoid the 6-percent commissions of real estate brokers. The trade-off is that FSBOs have had to market their property without access to the local multiple listing service (MLS), which is proprietary to real estate agents (although this is beginning to change). FSBOs have traditionally relied on newspaper ads and lawn signs to get the word out. But the Web's capability to reach people has opened new marketing avenues for FSBOs. Probably the most comprehensive FSBO site is the Abele Owners' Network site, which "looks good enough to give agents a run for their money," says Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. FSBOs can list their homes on the site under several plans: high-cost is $105, the low-cost is free. By comparison, listing your property with a broker will typically cost 3 percent of the selling price -- several thousand dollars on the average home. To list property on the Owners' Network site, sellers write a description of the property in a text file -- no knowledge of HTML is required, but a flair for the descriptive is encouraged ("pristine custom contemporary . . ."). Sellers can also submit a photograph of the property, either a digitized image by e-mail or regular picture by post. In addition, the Owners' Network provides resources for FSBOs, including links to brokers, agents, and others who help handle many aspects of the whole real estate ordeal -- from hosting open houses to coordinating the closing -- for a flat fee. "It's a great way to take advantage of the marketplace," says White, who listed her New Jersey home in the Owners' Network and received an offer from a person who discovered the property online (she didn't sell). "It gives people an opportunity to dial up and see a picture of the house," she says. If you sign an agreement with a broker, chances are that the agreement will be exclusive, meaning you can't market the property the FSBO way. Your agent will list the house in the local multiple listing service (MLS), which is computerized but not necessarily on the Internet. But that doesn't mean you can't have a nifty Web site to help sell your home. Many companies, agents, and local MLSs have a presence on the Web. The biggest broker-run sites (discussed below) have tens of thousands of listings. However, these sites are not comprehensive, and many homes won't automatically be listed. If that's the case, you could encourage your agent to get access to the Web. Or you could list your property with a site that takes such listings. HomeScout, one of the Web's largest real estate sites, has a service called Home on the Web that allows a seller to submit information on their property, including how to contact the broker. A Buyer's Market For those of you looking to buy real estate, the Web offers many choices and timesaving features. You can search for homes across town or across the hemisphere. Several sites offer thousands of detailed listings, plus photographs and even information on communities and schools nearby. The sites mentioned in this article all feature searchable indexes -- just plug in the city, the size of the house, and the price range, and the search engines will divulge which homes meet those criteria. With Realty Locator, for example, you can call up one of 21 U.S. metropolitan areas to obtain a wealth of real estate information, including such related information as a profile of local schools. Additionally, the site has more than 100,000 real estate links in 10,000 U.S. cities and towns. HomeScout, compiled by the Cobalt Group, a multimedia company in Seattle, Washington (U.S.A.), has gathered information from 260 databases to provide users with information on more than 500,000 homes. CyberHomes, which has agreements with multiple listing agencies in cities and counties across the country, places thousands of listings; the National Association of Realtors takes the multiple listings from realtor associations nationwide to offer thousands of home listings; and the Owners' Network is the best place to search the FSBO market for homes that even an agent might not be aware of. And who knows? Some of them may even have water views.

It was Ray, and that's the way it's supposed to work. You sign other folks and they get email. So I signed up a few folks, some of 'em here, to further Ray's experiment. It's an interesting way to build a little circle of friends on the net. Maybe we could use it to expand the Spring by making contacts there. I assume that other folks start to contact you and your circle grows.

Thanks again, Marcia! I'm going to see if I can get this to work... This is the website of my beloved Shakespeare professor, Tita French Baumlin, which has received international acclaim and is going to be used to help British schoolchildren learn about Shakespeare: Shakespeare page If you visit, tell her I sent you!
~Irishprincess #62
Cool, it worked!
~MarciaH #63
Excellent! You did not need my email, after all! I would have told your esteemed professor that you sent me to her wonderful site (love the insults!) but she requested only email containing other Shakespearean sites.
~Irishprincess #64
Oh, I don't think she'd mind. She loves the attention she gets from that website. Especially if you told her I sent you...brownie points for me!
~MarciaH #65
A letter is on the way to her per your request. *smile*
~Irishprincess #66
For thy goodly service many thanks! What didst thou say?
~MarciaH #67
I shall forward it to you if you'd like... Only good things, and I kept it short in the interest of saving her valuable time, etc...

~MarciaH #88
I take requests...I am working on Train-hopping in the Austin Conference and almost anything in Geo. What would you like me to write about?
~MarciaH #89
One more question: After plowing through the endless junk I seem to have posted on the conferences on Spring's Master's list of things worthy of his time, The only place I make any sense at all is Geo, and it is missing. How much is it gonna cost me to get it on his list?? If he can have topics not written in for two years, he can jolly well have one which has been very active lately. It is a very interesting place...You'd think he'd like to know what I am doing with part of Spring's bandwidth and hard drive...! Pretty Please?! ...I I'll do anything....
~MarciaH #90
Lovely that you kept the heart I posted even in your telnet cut and paste...but I suupose that is the only way a telnetter can see it. Good! It is just odd to see telnet printout with gifs and other pictures. *totally amazed and delighted* that you could see it...*hugs*
~MarciaH #91
Back to train hopping on Austin conference. I wish someone would join me there.
~MarciaH #92
using http://google.com of course. Tis the best there is! I already posted a bunch of stuff there which is interesting in hopes of bringing more interesting people out of lurkdom and into postdom (is there such a word?!)
~sprin5 #93
Geo will be on the list! It was an unintentional oversight!
~MarciaH #94
Thank you! Official recognition is a good thing...and I think you would find some fun and interesting stuff in there. We've been busy...*smile*

I just remembered, I dreamt about Devin's blog last night. I went to his website and Geno had redesigned it with a prison motif (?!?). It was very dark and rustic with a chain link fence background. And I was a little annoyed because all of Erin's entries were replaced by some guy named Neil. Posted by Shari at 07:14 AM | Comments (0) | linkage Watched Lord of the Rings last night. Have definitely changed my original opinion. Film appreciation for me is, really, just all about mood. Am I sitting in a comfortable chair? Do I have a heating pad readily available for any physical ailments? Is my girlfriend sitting next to me cracking bad jokes? I watched it (mostly) by myself while C. was out and found it actually to be a pretty good movie. By the way, C. did come home and watched it for a little while too and also (somewhat) changed her mind about it too. It seems she just dislikes the whole fantasy movie thing altogether ( I refuse, REFUSE to say genre today). Reason? Too unrealistic. Is it just me, or is that really funny? On another note, boycott is over and so is pity party. Sorry for the interruption. Posted by Shari at 07:11 AM | Comments (0) | linkage http://www.decafmocha.com This is Shari Fletcher's blog.

From joe-rabie@well.com Sat Nov 23 '02 (16:57) Here is the result of some six months of labour, that is "officially" going online tonight: INAUGURATION Today is the inauguration of the "Over My Dead Body" project. You are cordially invited to participate - if, of course, you identify yourself with the project's goals. The "Over My Dead Body" project is an online, virtual demonstration, politicising the major themes of globalisation and the economy, the environment, etc. The federating platform is the promotion of "the politics of generosity" to unblock the stranglehold of corporate and nationalist self-interest upon the world's destiny. People are invited to participate, and are represented symbolically in the demonstration by their name, place of residence, and if they so wish, photo, and virtual placard. Thus people from the four corners of the globe may fraternise and march together. The site also contains a section called "The State of Things", which presents an evolving portrait of the world today. The "About" section contains the project Manifesto, and other information. If you agree with what the project represents - come join the demo with us! And please forward this message to your family, your friends, your colleagues. The presence of each person is important: a trickle becomes a torrent that becomes a tidal wave, rolling for change. http://www.overmydeadbody.org
