I was reluctant at first, because I got all my movies from Blockbuster. As a realtor we are constantly being asked to have instructor led courses as well as webinars in order to keep up with the use of the latest social media. I for one hope we can think of ways to get that innovation into the market. Your post really gives us something to think about.
