I don’t know if you’ve ever read the blog, “Stuff White People Like,” but you should. I have the book, and it makes for great bathroom reading. I wish I had thought of it.
I have, however, thought of an entry for “Stuff White People Like.” I am going to call it “#347: Lists of the Top ‘x’ of something”
Man, “Top” lists are popular. It seems like every magazine has one (People’s is probably most famous). Sportscenter has one at the end of the show every day. Entire college alumni groups wait every week in anticipation of seeing their school in one (or two). “Top” lists are popular everywhere, and the Internet is no exception.
That’s why I wasn’t surprised to come across the “Unofficial 2008 Top 50 Tweeples to Follow.” This latest edition to the pantheon of “top” lists gives us the 50 people on Twitter who we should all be following. In scanning the list, I noticed that I already follow most of them, so I guess that’s good.
I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find a VERY familiar twit-wit on the list– our very own @LaniAR. I have always enjoyed following Lani on Twitter, and I know that my wife and mother-in-law do, too.
Ok, so now the list had my attention. If Lani’s on it, then the list must be totally valid. I took a closer look at the list, and recognized yet another familiar RE.net name, none other than @realestatechick. How cool is that? Real estate folks are very active in the Twitterverse, and it was good to see real estate so well represented.
Take a look at the list, and make sure you’re following the folks on there. And as always, don’t be afraid to leave your Twitter name in the comments, we wouldn’t to miss any of the fine folks who comment here at AG. Maybe I need to make a list of them. . .
Which reminds me, Stuff White People Like #348 should be: “Seeing their names on “Top ‘x’ lists”

Kudo’s to you both for the hard work being for being SOB’s. The others are included in this as well.
It’s a lot of work to run this. Thanks! It’s appreciated.

An SOB for the SOB’s. Pretty cool.
Okay, perhaps that will be the end of the SOB jokes, but I doubt it. 🙂

Successful and outstanding because you know that it’s about being helpful not hypeful and community. Look around at the folks here who are enjoying the fun. I was only acknowledging what’s already going on. 🙂

Geeze this kid of ours is growing up. Liz Strauss, and Seth Godin commenting in the same week, not to mention input from Robert Clough- wow, head spin from all the star gazing. To all- thank you.
For those who say “we’re just another ……” We define who and what we are, not the crowd, but it’s damn nice when the crowd applauds, thanks again…

Liz, your annual SOBcon is coming up soon too – would you be so kind to share some details with our community here ?

Don’t get too giddy…. I’ve yet to meet a Realtor who hasn’t been called an SOB… 🙂
Just kidding (mostly) this is a fantastic blog and the first one that I recommend to everyone! Where I’ve recently went on a rampage and deleted many other so-called industry blogs, I’ve actually changed the name in my reader to ensure that this one comes up first in the morning. You folks do a great job!
I know that the RE.net is a small fraction of the Realtor community and I am not so sure that’s a bad thing. I know that NAR has taken more interest in the re.net than any other sub-category of membership. Recently NAR has met with and sent representatives to re.net groups to get feedback. Those few of us involved with healthy interactions on-line are getting the attention of NAR and may be influencing them more positively than any other venue right now.
Keep up the incredible work!

Awesome! Congrats Benn & Lani – all of that hard work is paying off. And congrats to the contributors! We’re SOB’s by association.
