Today we had the webinar for the ListingWare API. Seems like it went well for the most part; lots of ground covered, many good questions. I'll try to publish it as soon as I can.
I say "for the most part" because we were trying to do something with Skype called a Skypecast to get the audio online without requiring a long-distance phone call for attendees. Well, that didn't go so well...suffice it to say, I'm NOT going to be using that again until Skype works the kinks out of the Private Skypecasts! Hopefully, you weren't still the phone call at the end when I let off a little steam from my frustration with Skype...OOPS! Sorry if you heard that...

Next Webinar: ListingWare API
I sent out the announcement today about our next webinar on Wednesday, April 25th. We'll be covering the ListingWare API, which is the handy thingy that lets you create all sorts of custom searches, results and special links for your IDX search. As far as we can tell, it's also EXCLUSIVE to ListingWare!
One of the pieces of feedback from the first webinar was that people didn't like having to dial a long-distance phone number in order to hear the audio. Well, that is one way we can keep costs down - it can get VERY expensive to host a toll-free conference like that. However, we're going to try something next Wednesday: Skype has a new feature called Skypecast. It lets you stream audio via their system for up to 100 people. So, we'll have the standard webinar, with the regular phone portion for audio that you can dial in to, as well has having the Skypecast for the first 100 people. If you don't have Skype yet, you can get it at http://www.skype.com.
In order for me to do all of this, I'm going to have to wear TWO headsets until we find something better to do! One standard phone headset and then a USB headset hooked up to the computer! I bet I'll look ready to communicate with Mars!
