On Becoming the Inman News Community Mangager
June 9, 2008 |
Today, I embark upon what I expect will be a very interesting, enriching, and exciting endeavor. Today, I begin in my position as Community Manager for Inman News.
What does this mean? Well first of all, it means that I will still be blogging and creating the best possible content I can right here (did you really think otherwise?); and I will still be doing the samefor Agent Genius, as well. I will, of course, still be selling real estate. So I guess, in some ways, things don’t really change all that much for me.
In other ways, things will never be the same. Now, all that social media and Web 2.0 research that I do will have an additional purpose. I will be able to direct my efforts towards building, enriching, and expanding the already strong community at Inman.com. The Inman.com Community site is up and running, and one of my responsibilities will be doing everything I can to make sure that community is a vibrant one.
I want to thank all of the folks at Inman, Joel and Don especially, for being willing to give me this opportunity, and I want to thank all of you here who have supported my efforts at RealEstateZebra.com. Without you, there would be no community. Together, I know that we can spread the word and grow the community to include everyone who could benefit from the knowledge and experience we have all gained.
I am excited to have this opportunity, I am excited to be able to share it with you. But right now, an opportunity is all it is. I want to grow this opportunity into an experience that the industry and its professionals will look upon not as a high point, but as a foundation for how the real estate industry can innovate and revolutionize the profession.
It’s gonna be an exciting and interesting ride, so come along!

Congratulations, Daniel! But I foresee some difficulties… you cant call any posts over at Inman a Zebra Stripe. What are you going to do about that?
In all seriousness, I’m happy for you. Looking forward to seeing the community section prosper under your direction.

Daniel,
Awesome news. I have a feeling they made a good move getting you on the case. You seem to be well qualified in getting people together and spurring activity. Maybe they can hook you up with some sweet A/V equipment for your remotes.

Looks like the theme works well for you too.
My bro is a good teacher if you just stop and watch him, he has surely helped the ministry of Grace to the Nations leap into the next generation of service and connection.
Thanks for the comment and best wishes to you.
