Scoble, the blog and the world?

Ok, the recap this week in the blog world and how it relates to Real Estate. Myself, being new to blogging (just since the beginning of May this year) I really must confess I had no idea that the internet bloggers had such a following. Also, I hadn't a clue as to the incredible power of the internet. Now, all you geeks and geek goddesses out there are aware of this stuff, but myself, I’m just an everyday, semi-but-not-too techie realtor with little experience into the wide, wide world of internet geekdom. So Monday, we list the home, get the photographer out, do the virtual tour, link it to both the multiple listing service, my site & my blog, etc. I then send the link innocently to Robert and Maryam, as all sellers like to see how the tour of their beloved castle turns out. Robert was kind to post the link to his blog along with a few kind words of my blog. Very nice I thought, how cool is that? I’m sure this way at least a few extra folks will be able to view the Scoble’s home. Man, what an understatement, as from then on all web hell broke loose. The links below will tell a bit of the story and the summary of all this is that as of 9:00AM this morning well over 7,000 visitors have looked at the virtual tour in less then a weeks time. Now you ask… Is that a lot of viewings? Let’s just say, the most visitors ever to view a virtual tour of one of my listings over a full months time was 1/10th of that number, and this all happened in less than a week. As I mentioned to Robert and Maryam after the shockwaves were settling down… 'You guys are rock stars of the internet blog world...thanks for having me along for the ride and hanging onto your coattails'. Now let's go get this home sold and closed so you can get to the promised land. Some of the following links may tell a better story:
