If you read my previous post on the question “Will Paying For Wi-Fi Fly“, you already know that the Dakno Dudes are all about the RE BarCamp craze. Because we are traveling more, I’ve had been thinking about going small as in a Netbook.
With great interest, I recently read a NY Times article on “Airborne Wi-Fi May Soar Despite the Doubters“. As most of you know, Brad and I have been doing a little lot of traveling 
around the country live streaming and participating in RE BarCamps. Admitted REBC junkies, we have logged quite a few frequent flyer miles spread across a number of air carriers. Because taking care of our awesome Dakno clients is job #1, it requires we stay constantly “wired” to what’s happening with our many real estate web design projects back at our offices. So you can see why this article caught my eye.
It’s amazing that the simple things really get me excited. When I heard this I thought to myself…. duh! The beauty of this idea is that it’s so logical and creative too!
I admit it! I’m a real estate barcamp junkie. It’s all Brad’s fault anyway. If he hadn’t decided (on a whim) to live stream the New York City RE BarCamp last January, my love affair with this phenomenon would have never started. But what’s done is done. You probably know the rest of the story. Right?
During our travels across our fruited plain (always wanted to say that 
, Brad and I have become quite familiar how RE BarCamps are run and what takes place at each event. It doesn’t make Brad or I RE BarCamps experts but more like informed observers. Stand behind a camera for 8 hours at multiple events and it will illuminate your mind.
While each RE BarCamp is unique, there are some shared commonalities about them all. Those common values include ardent sharers and seekers of information, awesome networking opportunities coupled with pre and post RE BarCamp fun social opportunities. Here’s the thing, based on feedback voiced by attendees and read in our streaming chat room during our streams, there is a growing disappointment over the failure to deliver the kind of environment and experience some attendees were hoping for. It’s not a major problem now but, it seems to be a growing trend. I’ll identify a few of those voiced challenges momentarily.
