http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/bakosphere/45477 Anyone who uses Twitter in Bakersfield probably knows Keandra Sandifer. She's a real estate marketer who uses Twitter both for business and personal reasons. She has lots of followers, and posts frequently. Her latest venture is videoblogging via her &quot;Real&quot;Bako blog. Her first video was, as she admits herself, a little rough. Much better is her second, in which she starts out by promoting the reopening of Central Park&nbsp;(see Bakersfield.com story for background) but which soon turns into a blast on the nearby Parkview Cottages. In Keandra's eyes, the cottages are well-meaning but totally out of place in Bakersfield and &quot;downtown urban living.&quot; She questions the white picket fences and New England style.&nbsp; &nbsp;Not sure if future Keandra videoblogs will tackle other angles in local real estate, but we'll keep an eye on it.
