I met up with Dean Guadagni and Patrick Kitano of TransparentRE at the TriValley Marketing Association meeting in Pleasanton, California on Friday. Afterwards we headed over to a Starbucks to talk about Pat’s recent trip to the NYC Connect, our upcoming blog classes in Marin and Danville, and how technology and blogging are changing the real estate industry.

Today, I read Pat’s post Elvis = Zillow and I just have to accept that challenge as Elvis figures prominently in the explosion blogging. There are many sightings of Elvis in the blogoshpere and real estate blogs in particular continue to be heavily influenced by him.

Here is a partial list of Elvis' involvement and influence in blogging:

• Many real estate agents are feeling All Shook Up by technology and blogging.
• Most postings by Realtors are Almost Always True
• Many bloggers feel that their blogging will pay off Any Day Now
• Are You Lonesome Tonight? – post some comments
• After a Blue Christmas many real estate agents are in better spirits due to blogging
• It’s often reported that bloggers develop a Burning Love for blogging
• When writing a post or leaving a comment – Don’t Be Cruel
• Fools Rush In to blogging
• Be careful who you link to. Don’t wind up In the Ghetto
• With the market transitioning, many agents feel It’s Now or Never
• Mortgage fraud is introducing some to Jailhouse Rock
• Don’t post pictures of your Little Sister on your blog
• Many a blogger’s partner is pleading – Please Don’t Stop Loving Me
• Bloggers keep hoping for a Return to Sender feature for comments
• Some traditional agents look on blogging with Suspicion
• And of course, some brokers have Suspicious Minds

In summary, many real estate pundits feel that there is A Whole lot of Shakin’ going on in the industry
