Realty Bites

I came across an old post on my friend Laura Koehne’s blog this week. It’s from last year (all right, all right, I’m behind in my reading — aren’t you?), but it’s still fresh and relevant today. Laura is a gifted career coach, and she writes movingly about social networking in the modern age. For those of us who, say, write real estate blogs or spend hours on Facebook and Twitter, so much of our time is consumed by electronic interactions that we neglect the people around us. That’s right, people. Remember them? In the old days, social networking was accomplished by getting together for dinner with your family, going bowling with your friends, having coffee or cocktails with your colleagues — you get the idea. What happened to those days? I’m following Laura’s lead and making most of my interactions with other people in person or at least by telephone. I hope you’ll do the same.
