- Why bother with Facebook Pages? (21)
- Dustin: The short answer: Yes. Personally, I’ve definitely made money because of my Facebook page. I may be the exception, but I’m also not trying to sell...

- Where else can you get a great conversation around RE BarCamps and Cougars??? (5)
- Dustin: exactly… I had to get you and dingman out of the state park just to make sure you didn’t get yourself in trouble!

Wow. The Redfin attorney’s could have a field day with this guy. $10K may be the least of his problems.
On the REW forum he said, “My project on getacoder.com was for a Redfin.com clone, in all functionalities and appearance.”
Someone “clones” one of my sites in “all functionalities and appearance” and I’m coming after them with everything I can muster.
And Redfin has just a wee bit deeper pockets than I do.
Amazing….
Why would anyone want to clone Redfin?
Jeff: That was my reaction too…
Their functionality is great, but cloning another site is just asking for trouble on a bunch of different levels and shows a real lack of understanding about the web. It takes plagiarism to a whole new level!
