How to Train Your Dragon… I Mean, Your AI!

I am a huge How to Train Your Dragon Fan. Not just because my husband loves animated movies and has bought me all the dragon stuffed animals that have been created from the original movies. But also, because dragons are amazing! And at the same time, they can seem scary.  But when you try to get along with them, they can be your best friend! AI can feel a little dragon-like at first. There are fears it could take over your jobs. Heck, I see…

Realtors: Should You Push Your Listings on Facebook and Twitter?

May 6, 2010
