Ubertor allows you to not only upload videos to your website, but you can syndicate them to YouTube, Viddler, Facebook and Vzaar. This weekend, we rolled out a new feature set to the Vzaar video platform called “social sharing”.
The Vzaar social sharing feature allows viewers to share your video on their Facebook page, Twitter account, or they can easily email, copy the video embed code or download the video straight from the player.
These settings have been rolled out and you can see them on your Vzaar videos now.
Realtor Mary Roy has just launched a new website with Ubertor which has been completely customized by an Ubertor Approved Vendor to have a very unique look and feel. There is lots of video, unique use of the Ubertor listings engine and a map search provided by TREB. Take a moment to check out Mary’s new website.

I returned home from San Francisco the other day after 4 days down at the annual Real Estate Connect SF. As usual it was an awesome event. I have had the opportunity to be there a few times, and this was my 3rd time being invited to speak at the conference.
This years event was fantastic with an awesome line up of speakers and of course, a great group of attendees from all over the globe. It is always great to run into friends that you normally only communicate with online.
LobbyCon
LobbyCon (hanging out in the lobby of a conference) was a fantastic portion of this conference as usual. There were lots of familiar faces to catch up with.
Panel
I had the honor of being on a panel, moderated by Sherry Chris, who is the CEO of Better Homes and Gardens, along with Brian Clark, CEO of CopyBlogger.com and Walter Schild, CEO of Genex. Our panel was all about business of tomorrow and where things are going. My portion of the panel was to speak on how our operations work in 3 countries and how our culture has become so important in our Philippines operations. The crowd was filled with over 1000 agents and brokers from all over the world. It was a privilege being a part of the panel and it was great to learn more about the other panelests as they told their stories.

Parties
