Bill French-- Real Estate Interview

Bill French founded Global Technologies Corporation in 1981, a consulting, database applications and software product development firm. With a strong background in finance and accounting, Bill's success in small-business systems integration was perfect timing for the PC revolution.

In addition to authoring and co-authoring many popular award winning development tools including QuickSite, dBRIEF, Evolve and LapLink, Bill is currently building a new generation of personal publishing and knowledge management tools based on Web services and XML standards. Toward that end, he co-founded MyST Tehnology Partners with F. Andy Seidl in 2002.

The first product, MySmartChannels, was released by MyST in March 2003 and was quickly followed with Blogsite and MyST Enterprise RSS services. Today MyST provides corporate blogging and RSS services to hundreds of firms including Intel Corporation, Verisign, and Real Estate Blogsites, LLC.

In his real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio he discusses the following real estate information:

Solutions for Blog Content

1. Search engines respond to fresh content, so blogging agents should write as often as possible, but they usually do not have time to generate new content every day.
2. The definition of a blog SITE is broader than a blog-a blog site has multiple web log channels to handle more content.
3. At RealEstateBlogSites.com, MyST can integrate other web logs into your blog site; continuous new content elevates your placement with search engines; free blog tools do not provide content.
4. MyST also provides automatic, daily briefings or search watch-lists to be plugged directly into your blog; you can define what content to include and how it will look.

In this briefing he also covers the following useful real estate topics:

• What Blogs Are
• Application of Blogs to Real Estate
• How and Why Blogs Work
• Web Sites vs. Blogs
• The Long Tail
• Blogging Platforms
• Benefits from Blogging
• Favorite Resources on the Web
