Re: Thursday, May 17, 2007
no amount of fear can stop the rise of free media, but the fear of National Association of Realtors & the FTC's Anticompetitive Practices Division can. The real estate community is starting to get a clue and has formed a very large conversation through a community blog (ActiveRain) in which collaboration, sharing ideas and talking about engaging with the market is the underlying spirit. The warnings keep coming from some of the participants and they sound like this: "It is always a good thing to remember that any thing spoken or written in any public forum can, and probably will, be used against you in a court of law...and it really goes beyond just the "C" (commission) word--- any comparison or discussion about the business practices of another competitor can lead to anti-trust violations." Does anyone have some light they can share on this topic? Can a community of business owners have a public forum where they discuss with the market and each other business practices?
