Many of my RE Technology teammates are representing at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco this week. Unfortunately, I am not among them. So that I don't feel like I'm missing out completely, I'm following the conference on social media and sharing it with you nice people. If you missed my coverage yesterday, you can read it here. Now let's get started with today's highlights from ICSF.

Jeffrey Kershner @jeff_kershner : #5 know what you want: define the goal of the mobile app. Is it to generate calls, leads, showcase brand etc. @1000wattbrian #icsf

Cynthia Hoskins @Cynthia_Hoskins : "Pulling Your Listings from Aggregator Sites: Who Wins?" session at #ICSF. Now this conference is going to get good!

Bob (Robert) Watson ?@TopBrokerOC : Spencer just got his hand slapped by Errol. No FSBO's are on http://Realtor.com just MLS supplied listings. #zillow #realtor #ICSF

Bob (Robert) Watson ?@TopBrokerOC : FINALLY! @inmanbrad brings up the syndication "monetization" question. Isn't this the real issue here? #ICSF

Matthew Shadbolt ?@Corcoran_Group : Good advice from @spencerrascoff - the public doesn't care about the industry's syndication conversation #ICSF

REALTOR® Magazine ?@realtormag : Saul Klein asks (rhetorically?) @realtordotcom and @zillow execs if they would want their for-sale homes on each other's sites. #icsf

REALTOR® Magazine ?@realtormag : Spencer Rascoff of @zillow responds that, yes, he would like his for-sale home on @realtordotcom #icsf

Chris Smith ?@Chris_Smth : Breaking: @REALTORdotcom releases agent branded app for all agents. It's free. #icsf http://Realtor.com/collaborate

Jeffrey Kershner ?@jeff_kershner : Don't go into the native app world before you have a mobile optimized website because all phones have a browser. #ICSF

Janet White ?@iSocialJanet : Congrats to all the Inman Innovator Finalists! Updates are out! http://ow.ly/cHtZJ #ICSF

Teri Conrad ?@TeriConrad : You don't want to appear self serving on social - @staceyharmon #brandtrack #icsf

Lyndsey Douglas ?@LyndseyDouglas : 5/5 scores are often perceived as doctored. 4/5 star agents get more leads through agent sites. #icsf

David Marine ?@david_marine : Problem w/ agent reviews: unlike on Amazon agents can flood reviews w/ friends & family. is it really an honest review like on Amazon? #icsf
