If you are reading real estate blogs you probably already know that there is a little social game going on among bloggers right now:

Bloggers ask each other to reveal "5 Things That You Dont Know About Me" and to pass along this
theme to other blogs. This all started by Mary McKnight posting on Active Rain and spread like wildfire.

Maureen Francis of miOaklandcounty.com challenged me today so I guess this is a good opportunity to tell you all a little bit more about myself:

You can read the basic info about me in my professional bio here. But here are five additional things you don't know about me:

1. I grew up in a small town in Sweden and started commuting to the US in the late 90's doing speaking and consulting gigs related to affiliate marketing on the Internet.

2. I am married to an amazing woman named Julia. We met in NYC and relocated to the metro Detroit area in 2004 to be closer to her family. We have an 11 month old son named Stellan who is the joy of our life.

3. I am a huge music fan enjoying all kinds of music. I am currently in a local band in Detroit playing keyboards and sax. Some of our contemporary inspiration sources include Zero 7, Brazilian Girls and LadyTron.

4. I am a total direct marketing geek and collect rare marketing books. If you are looking for a great marketing book look no further than Jay Abraham's "Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got"

5. I read a lot. Currently on my night stand is The Birth of Plenty by William Bernstein. My favorite author is Ayn Rand. Her book Atlas Shrugged is amazing.

Now to the hard part. Which bloggers shall I tag to spread this little blog social game even further?

How about these three great blogs that are in my blog reader?

1. real/diaBlog
2. Pittsburgh Homes Daily
3. The X Broker

Guys, care to tell your readers five things they probably don't know about you?

Best,
Ola
