Owen Raun just returned from Inman Connect in New York and funny enough had almost the same reaction that I had when I attended the previous Inman conference in San Francisco.
Owen’s recent thoughts on Inman Connect, NY:
Unfortunately the mortgage industry at Inman was not well represented. I know that Realtors are the focus at Inman but there is much we can learn from the topics covered. After my first 6 months learning how Web 2.0 effects our industry… here are some basic observations about our industry:
* We are behind Realtors in embracing web 2.0 practices. Way behind.
My thoughts on Inman Connect, SF:
My first impression? The Real Estate community is much more collaborative and cohesive than the Mortgage community. Sites like ActiveRain, RainCityGuide, BloodHound Blog.
How ironic. Suggestions for catching up? Comment below.

I think most mortgage and finance guys piggy back on the real estate communities for a couple of reasons.
1. That is where all there business stems from.
2. It is so large and already established, to some extent.
