Real Estate's Newest Trend: Community Blogs Provide Residents with Local News and Information
Bridgeport, CT (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- Gail Robinson, a real estate agent for William Raveis Real Estate, today announces she has launched a community blog for the Black Rock neighborhood of in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which consists of approximately 8,000 households.
"Blogging is part of a growing national trend by real estate agents who see its potential for increasing their visibility to potential customers" according to Gail Robinson.
Blog use and creation continues to grow at an extraordinary rate. According to Technorati, a leading weblog authority, the blogosphere doubles about every 5.5 months. Technorati, in March 2006, was tracking over 27.2 million weblogs. The Black Rock Online Community Blog is currently ranked at 302,000 which positions it among the top 1% of blogs in terms of popularity as ranked by Technorati.
"Neighborhood blogs are the next wave of growth for the Internet" states Gail Robinson. "People want to feel connected with their community, but need a way of keeping in touch that doesn't demand too much of their time. A neighborhood blog solves this dilemma by providing a way for community organizations and residents to share events, news, photos, and a community calendar."
The Black Rock Online Community Blog invites various community organizations to participate by creating their own blog which is then hosted on the community site. Organizations currently participating are: Ash Creek Conservation Association, Black Rock Art Center, Black Rock Garden Club, and the Black Rock Homeowners Association. Other contributors include local artists, writers, and musicians who invite residents to their events and opening receptions. Residents can post comments and react to articles, making the site interactive and lively.
