Warnings Signs of a Bad Landlord | Apartment Vigilantes

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

St. Louis, with its plethora of privately-owned apartment rentals in and around the city, has its share of bad landlords.  This is a great article on how to spot landlord trouble before it begins.  Quick read!

A big city like Chicago is riddled with bad apartment landlords. So before you sign below the dotted line, it’s important that you’re certain of not taking over a place that’s owned by a heartless, rotten, scamming property owner who’s out to victimize unsuspecting renters. You might like the apartment or condo, but if you’re going to have to deal with a landlord who’s going to take advantage of you, then it’s not worth it.

When social media is bad for business | Inman News

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

This is a great article!  It puts social media in its proper perspective — as a great communication tool, rather than a leading business generator. Businesses, pay attention!

It certainly clarified my love/hate feelings (not to mention guilt) regarding the plethora of social media outlets, and my use (or lack thereof) of most of them.

Well written, well thought out – a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Social media presence tends to be touted these days as a proficiency that must be conquered in order to compete for and generate business. If that were true, it would be called “commercial” media. Rather, social media is simply our way of communicating, redefined. It is another way to interact, and the rules for social interaction are no different online than off; the venue is just different.
