Metro BrokersTV:  Welcome to Metro Brokers TV.  We are at the Inman Connect in San Francisco, 2009.  I am with Mike Bradley and Mike is the Chair for the MetroBrokers Technology Committee and Michael welcome to the show.

Mike Bradley:  Hi thank you Mark.

Metro BrokersTV:  Hey just to wrap up here, we went through three days real quick give away you can give our members out there and what you took from this year's Inman Connect?

Mike Bradley:  Well it seems this year the themes more of what's really working, there have been a lot of ideas over the last few years have come out, not all of those are still here, but there are things that are actually useful tools converging the video applications, social networking, mobile platforms all into one platform that actually does something, that actually isn't just an idea, just in for a market but its more in use, in the trenches and resulting in profitable results you know.

Metro BrokersTV:  Yeah so we are talking about return and investment, those technologies that agents and companies are using and people are actually getting leads, converting leads and making money.

Mike Bradley:  Exactly and just at this conference I got my first lead on Facebook while we were in a conference last night and was a friend from my school I haven't talked to him for 20 years and as I... there you go perfect application of social networking merging with mobile technology.  I have got Facebook on my iPhone, got the lead responded within minutes had a dialogue during the conference; I am showing on in two weeks.

Metro BrokersTV:  Yeah well that's really what that in a nutshell that's what it's about isn't it?

Mike Bradley:  That's exactly what it's about; you either have an iPhone, last year's conference after attending on like maybe I should get that technology, something like that based for itself right there.

Metro BrokersTV:  Yeah actually last year's event Brad was talking about the iPhone as the device not necessarily iPhone is a brand but that type of hand held mobile device to have.

Mike Bradley:  Yeah and then we saw things like augmented reality where we can hold up the phone and see a house maybe with a different [Inaudible] and all the data available to it right there on the overlay and this is coming down within a couple of years this is scary stuff but its very cool too.

Metro BrokersTV:  Any insight that you can take away as far as Chair for Technology at MetroBrokers that can help our organization?

Mike Bradley:  Well I think we are actually ahead of the curve in a lot of this, some of the things I saw today we are already doing and we just got to continue to innovate and take the ideas from here and act on them before anyone else does if we want to stay on that cutting edge.

Metro BrokersTV:  Great well once again Mike great to having you here you always had good information and hope to see you here next year.  For more great information about MetroBrokers our culture in our company make sure to go to metrobrokerstv.com.
