The 2009 First Time Homebuyer ($8000) Tax Credit For Buyers in the Eau Claire Wisconsin area To stimulate the economy and basically help sell more houses the government has enacted a tax credit for first time home buyers. Many people have been asking about this program and I would like to provide as many details as possible. This is a great program if you are a first time home buyer or it has been a while since you owned a home. You may qualify for this credit and not even know it. Unlike the “credit” from last year this is a true credit and does not need to be repaid unless you move before three years is up. Here is the official statement from the NAR (National Association of Realtors) Here are some FAQ about the credit.   Here is a tax credit chart. Just hover over any of these links...

This is one of those pieces that I think is more than just a good read. I am always concerned about new technologies and rightly so. They are shaping the way we do business and we are changing the way we communicate. Technology is changing us or are we changing technology? Is it we that adapts or are we adapting to technology? But I wonder really, as do many people, what the future holds for us especially as it relates to the internet. Certainly this is one of the most important, if not the most important technologies of the 20th and 21st centuries. It may even go down as the single greatest human accomplishment. I guess that’s hard to even say or swallow but maybe. But then it’s hard to say what will happen. Certainly no one could have guessed the impact that the internet would have o...

Yahoo recently did something pretty cool. That might sound strange to say because for the most part you can poke Yahoo with a stick when you compare it to Google. But Google and Facebook don’t get a long for the most part so this makes sense. What is it? Yahoo added Facebook  to their search results and now your face shows up if you use Facebook that is and of course they are looking for you or for some reason your profile just shows up in the search. That seems like a lot of ifs but you can see the results below. Make sure to check out my Eau Claire Real Estate Agent website! If you have something to say please leave a comment. I will try to comment on your blog as well. If you really like this story flag it for a feature! If you would like to work with an agent who is leading the way...

  I saw this article and thought I would share it with everyone. I like the idea of a streamlined approach. I find some of the different Facebook applications clumsy to use and the way pages currently work, it seems difficult to promote them within your profile. This new feature would be a tab and hopefully make it easier for your pages to be found. I am interested in this because I have not spent hours customizing my pages as it seems some people have. The fact that it takes so long to make the pages look good tells me they need a new approach. Take Squidoo for example and look how easy it is to set up a good page there. If Facebook can incorporate something like that I think everyone will come out ahead. It looks like there is a link to take a peek at the new look here. Make sure to ...

There is no middle ground with technology. There is no waiting around. The earlier you adapt and adopt the quicker the transition is. Do you know what people said about the internet in the early 90’s when it was gaining momentum? How about in the 80’s? Do you know what people still say today about the internet? Do you realize how few agents can actually use the internet as a skill? Yes it is a skill today and if you don’t have it you fail. That’s it. If you are not fully competent with computers and not just adequate you fail. If you haven’t failed you will.   These people are almost out of jobs because they didn’t innovate. They had 20 years to do something I keep seeing articles written harkening back to old times and how important that phone is. “Pick it up” they say. No one ever sa...

 Tech Crunch made a list of the top Twitter clients using statistics from Compete but then some users seemed to have an issue with that arguing that those numbers might not be all that accurate. So they decided to use another method of ranking using Twitstat which provides numbers using desktop and client data. So depending on how you look at it (Two different ways) they have tried to rank 21 clients that work with Twitter according to their popularity. Some of these might be new to you as in you have never heard of them or you are already using them and are aware of their popularity. Either way it’s a good list and a good look into how people are using Twitter beyond its normal interface. I of course will only link to the articles instead of copying and pasting the results here. Let m...

FaceBook just released a brand new widget that lets you integrate your website directly with FaceBook. I have been waiting for something to come out of their API for FaceBook connect for some time and this is definite progress. It’s not everything that I wanted but it’s pretty cool. If you want to see it in action check out my Eau Claire Real Estate website. So far I added a field that will appear in the middle and below on each page. Let me know what you think by dropping a comment. I’m not positive if I need to be approved by 5 people for running this application or not. If so I might ask for help on that. While you are there check out the Google Friend Connect social bar at the top and bottom right. Please sign in and become a friend of my site. If you want to read more about the ne...

*Note* Perform a system backup and set a system restore point before you do anything like this to your computer. You should be doing these things automatically and if you are not this is a great time to do so. I have been building and fixing computers for many years. I am often asked by family members or friends to take a look at their machines and basically get it running smoothly again. Sometimes it’s a virus wreaking havoc and sometimes it is outdated (But not often) Many people think that just because their computer starts running slowly that it’s time to go out and buy a new one. Sure you could do that and sure you could pay someone hundreds of dollars to fix it (Before you do you might just consider buying a new one at that point) But the number one reason I see computers running...

Well I have been saying quite the opposite lately and I am not alone. Many have said that it could be the death of Twitter if it doesn’t learn how to make some money and quick. Just look around at what this economy is doing to people let alone tech companies. It used to work great to start up a company and hope it does well and just wait to get bought out but now that model simply does not work. Now some of its investors are saying we got plenty of money basically. Check out this article. In fact they recently were given $35 million and they didn’t even ask for the money! I officially extend my hat to any companies who would like to give me a check for that amount. You can just put it in the mail! Make sure to check out my Eau Claire Real Estate Agent website!

When I talk about LinkedIn the simple question is are you? If not you should. Its really the only professional solution to social networking. In a way it’s the modern resume and even if you aren’t necessarily looking to find a new job it can work as a great tool to put yourself out there. So I came across this article which showed how much it is growing and some are saying this is due to the economy. If you are scrambling for work then you might find yourself scrambling to make your profile or resume as I mentioned. But that only goes to show how you should already be on there. “When times are tough, networking is a survival skill.” It sure is. Make sure to check out my Eau Claire Real Estate Agent website!

I just came across this article and though it was interesting. I have sort of had this feeling all through last year that web 2.0 seems to have come and gone. I think there are still a few people who just started hearing about it but just because it’s new to you doesn’t make it new. And really what did it mean anyways? I thought there was a big push for websites to get rid of the bloat and the frills and skip right to content and still even major sites are so bloated they hardly load. I guess if you took anything good away from it that would be it. I also think that many people confused social networking with web 2.0 but clearly social networking as it exists on the internet was here long before 2006. If I was to put a year on that I would say as far back as 2000 or 2001. That’s when h...

I orginally posted this in my Eau Claire Real Estate blog. Mike Mueller recently asked a simple question, are you really using Google Friend Connect for your site? That’s a good question? What’s funny is that somehow I stumbled across a GFC Joomla! tool just a couple weeks before he asked that and had integrated it into my site. But since I was the only person on my site using it that probably looks a little strange. Thanks Mike for joining! Anyways what’s ironic is that the day after I made a comment on his post, Tech Crunch announced that Google has one upped this great tool and made it a whole lot easier to use. You can read more about the announcement here. Adding this to your site is easy and Google has all the steps here. Regardless if you have a Joomla! Site or not you can use t...
