As we further develop the
toolbar and create tutorials and promotional materials, we want to know why you have or have not downloaded, installed or used the Inspection Radio Toolbar?
The toolbar technology is amazing and everything on it can be changed or customized within less than one minute. But we want to make sure that we're effectively communicating what Inspection Radio can do for inspectors and why the toolbar will be the best free Internet resource for anyone involved with the home inspection profession. In a nutshell, Inspection Radio is not in the business of building a new website or a service with 100% exclusive content. In fact, we're just the opposite. We're in the business of showing you everything that's on the Internet related to the home inspection world. The good, the bad, the ugly, the funny, the pitiful, the gossip, the whatever.
Anything on the Internet is fair game and with the exponential growth of social media (podcasts, blogs, vidoes, etc.) people will discover what's out there faster than you can imagine. That includes your posts or pictures here on Inspection News, other people's posts on Inspectors Journal, the NACHI boards, pictures on FLICKR, videos on YouTube, you name it.
Since we're independent from any home inspector organization, we can show you everything. For example, check out this great education seminar or this new training program. Look at this inspector's stupid video on YouTube. Check out this consumer's home inspection pictures on Flickr and how he just rips his home inspector into shreds. Read this cool case study on this site about EIFS, etc.
So let us know what your initial impressions have been. How should we promote the service and what are the first things about the toolbar that we need to educate people about? Do we need to mail out postcards, do web presentations of how the toolbar works...the sky's the limit or at least until Megan asks us for advance payment again.
As always, your thoughts and input are welcome.
