Tagging Gone Wild: Five Things That You Don't Know About Me

If you are reading real estate blogs you probably already know that there is a little social game going on among bloggers right now:

Bloggers ask each other to reveal "5 Things That You Dont Know About Me" and to pass along this theme to other blogs. This all started by Mary McKnight posting on Active Rain and spread like wildfire.

Ola Edvardsson of Realtio challenged us yestersday so we took this opportunity to share a little about us:

Though we have some information about us in our bio, here are five additional things you don't know about each of us:

Danilo:

1) I was born in Ottawa, Canada and lived there for 4 years prior to moving to Washington, DC for a year and then Northern Virginia where I have lived ever since.

2) I enjoy listening to all types of music and love going to concerts and hearing my favorite DJ's when they come through the area.

3) I will be getting married in May of 2007 to an awesome woman, Jessica who keeps me on my toes at all times.

4) I am a car fanatic and enjoy road racing and auto-crossing (for fun only) on tracks in the area such as Summit Point and Virginia International Raceway (VIR) when I can.

5) I am much happier and more upbeat when I am busy rather than not having anything to do. That is why you will usually find me out doing something whether it be for work or for fun.

Tony:

1) I was born in Nuremburg, West Germany.  It used to be separated into two countries way back when.  My father was in the Army, so I moved every other year until I was twelve.  This included Germany twice, Toronto, Canada, Tennessee, Virginia (three times), Kansas and Ohio.

2)I was a stockbroker in my first career.  I worked for several firms before I started my own firm in 1994 in Beverly Hills Ca.

3)I have a sixteen year old daughter named Aedan who goes to school at Laguna Beach High School (the real OC). 

4)I run triathlons to stay in shape and keep balance in my life.  I was very athletic growing up, playing baseball and football in high school and college.  I tore my ACL for the second time about 2 years ago and I refused to have the surgery again, so I quit playing team sports and now just run, bike and swim.

5)I went to the United States Military Academy at West Point.  This fact is only impressive to those who didn't go there.

We tagged these three great blogs that are in our blogroll and blog readers...

1. Sellsius real estate blog
2. St. Paul Real Estate
3. Three Oceans Real Estate

Thanks for the tag Ola and look forward to seeing what Joel, Teresa and Kevin have to say!

Hi, thanks for tagging me...I think. :)

Could you post the chain of bloggers that led from Mary McKnight to you?

[Danilo Bogdanovic]

jf.sellsius,

Absolutely! And thanks for keeping it going.

Kevin,

You're welcome...we think. lol

Here's how it got to us with the most recent going backwards:

- Ola at Realtio.com
- Maureen at miOaklandcounty.com
- Mary McKnight at ActiveRain.com (she started the MEME)

Wow, this meme thing really is a social virus. I have to give credit where credit is due- Paul Chaney of Blogging Systems started this whole thing in our industry and out of I came up with the swap idea. Blogging is all about connecting- connecting with other bloggers and forming an authority group and connecting with consumers. The meme really gave bloggers a reason to network with each other and gave consumers a glimpse into each bloggers personal life, further engaging them in the whole blog.

[Danilo Bogdanovic]

Yes, it is! But it's a good one! Thank you to Paul and yourself for getting it going. It's definitely helped bring a lot of people together.

Though it seems that consumers are still a bit hesitant to comment and/or haven't come across many blogs, I hope that will change in the near future. I value everyone's opinions and comments, especially consumers.
