* THE BREAKING NEWS NETWORK *

Developed by Domus Consulting Group founder, Patrick Kitano.  I joined in early 2010 because I believe a community site that is tied to a national network would be valuable for our small community in Half Moon Bay-Coastside.  The site provides real-time updates on everything from restaurant deals, to non-profit updates, to surf and wave news, to local and regional news updates, as well as local real estate updates from the local real estate agents who share what’s going in our world that could affect you.  This is curated and brought to you in one site easily accessed by either the website, Facebook or Twitter.  The network began in mid-2009; as of Fall 2010 there are 180 community sites up and running.  The site with important local and network links can be found at www.BreakingCoastsideNews.com.

 * WOMEN’S COUNCIL OF REALTORS *

The Women’s Council of Realtors also has a bloggers network.  You can find Realtors who blog in this association at www.WCRblogs.com.

*LINKED IN *

The people that I am connected with on LinkedIn are people that I know and know me, or through a referral he/she is in my network because I think there is value to my other connections.  I will typically provide a copy of my public LinkedIn Profile to prospective clients.
