In some ways it is kind of old news to see tweet streams come across TweetDeck concerning a conference you were unable to attend. And, in other ways it still truly astonishes me that we have that kind of intimate access. Emotional access via the cool new third place.

AIM Conference

I had the privilege of attending the Apartment Internet Marketing Conference a couple of years ago and hands down, it was/is the best of breed. It draws in the best of the best from all over the country. Steve Lefko and his team put on a compelling show. And, it is a show – theater at it’s best. With the best internet marketing thespians acting out vignettes of knowledge laden action oriented prose, wit and wisdom. It truly is a Third Place- at least in my head.

The Third Place

Wikipedia describes it this way -

The third place is a term used in the concept of community building to refer to social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments of home and the workplace.

I describe it this way -

Crazy cool, awe-inspiring, over the top, compelling place of uber-excellent actionable idea creation…

To my point – despite not being able to attend this years conference, social media (twitter specifically) has allowed me and many others to feel this Third Place. With the likes of Lisa Trosien, Mike Whaling and Mark Juleen live tweeting, I quite literally feel myself getting emotional loaded both for the support and the retort of things that are tweeted. It’s the deepest meanings of compelling.

Hats off to the AIM team for creating a conference that is worthy of a moniker such as third place. Trust me, it’s in the budget for next year…

Your – lovin’ the ability to feel a third place from thousands of miles away – multifamily manic,

Because a party should be a party w/o shop talk I’ve included a few bullet points below for your review.  You can expect me to not talk about work unless you truly want to.

RentWiki is a brand new Internet Listing Service that provides peer advice on where to live, social networking, and the latest and greatest in apartment advertising on the web.

• WE upload all of your content for free; YouTube videos, any virtual tour, and unlimited photos and floor-plans
• Facebook and Twitter integrated; bringing more content, connections, and social networks to your prospects allowing them to answer questions and give neighborhood advice so you don’t have to.
• Free Widgets including Walk Score and contributed content sharing for your own corporate or property website

And you only pay $10 for every LEGIT renter lead.  That’s right… the least expensive cost per lead in the industry (you’ll pay $40+ per lead elsewhere)!! 

• We review EVERY lead, eliminate the trash and duplicates, and only charge for the true legit renter lead
• Why do we do this?  So you don’t have to!!  Our goal is to deliver quality not to inundate you with a ton of leads to filter through in order to find the legit ones.
