Yes it's been awhile

2009-10-26T15:45:00.000-07:00

Frankly we haven't been posting because we are spending a lot of the time with our business in these tough economic times.

Staley Real Estate sponsors this site and is hosted at Rhinebeck.info and many of the announcements or posts are done here at Rhinebeck.info. There are many excellent blogs and informational sites about Rhinebeck and we hope you check them all out. Twitter and tweeting is really the main focus going forward into 2010 since Google has announced a partnership with Twitter to list real time tweets. THAT IS HUGE NEWS !

Although as of this time going forward blogging rss feeds and alike will still be important tools with social networking but I can tell you Rhinebeck.Info will focus it's energy towards Twitter marketing and I'm sure Mr. Staley will do the same with his business at Staley Real Estate as well.

RHINEBECK — Delays in securing unfinished buildings against vandalism in the stalled 80-unit second phase of the Gardens at Rhinebeck are drawing complaints from other residents of the housing development.
