CityBlogUSA Opens Illinois Blogging Network

Phoenix, AZ, February 7, 2008. CityBlogUSA, a division of the e-Partner National Relocation and Brokerage Services Network announced that effective Thursday, February 7, 2008, it would begin to market the CityBlog Resident blogging network for Illinois cities to real estate agents.

The Company launched the BETA version of CityBlogUSA in July and has been test marketing positions in selective markets in its 50-State, 25,000+ cities network to real estate agents on an exclusive basis.

Company Vice President, Robert Barringer said, “we created CityBlog with the idea that consumers want to blog about their favorite cities or hometown and to directly post information about lifestyles, real estate, jobs, health care, schools and even politics from an insider’s perspective.”

“CityBlog Illinois allows residents, businesses and real estate industry professionals to open up the local information portals for those seeking to relocate and for those residents who want to post alternative information that the newspapers, TV and magazines aren’t reporting…after all, who knows more about a community than the people who live there?”, said Barringer.

Agents can “Stake a Claim” to their city as its “Real Estate and Relocation Specialist” and hold that position exclusively, interact by posting blogs, talk about real estate and any other local issues they would like to include in the blog.

Barringer said, “The most powerful thing about CityBlog is that any resident can become an author…we are just setting up a network and trying to sell ad space…we believe in the consumer-centricity of the economy, especially when it comes to real estate and local lifestyles.”

People can blog Chicago, Aurora, Peoria, Joliet, Waukegan, Rockford, Springfield, Elgin, Cicero, and any other city and have the same blogging experience. You can jump to any Illinois city and be blogging in minutes by going to www.IllinoisBlogPage.com, this very site.
