One more invite left…

Posted by Dustin on June 22, 2008 in RE.net, Technology |

Yeah, that’s right!   I published a post yesterday saying I had 5 ActiveRain invites to give away… Only to say a few hours later I never meant to hit publish on the post. Ironically, I was approached by someone running a social network offering to bail me out by offering 4realz readers 5 invites to [...]

Realtor.com Turns up the Heat and…

I totally screwed up today!  I created this “draft” post a while back to show someone how I could help market their social network. This morning I noticed that the post had [...]

Some details… What used to cost $50/month for 10 listings now costs $39/month for unlimited listings.   In addition, as part of Trulia Pro, agents can also add unlimited spotlight ads.  So far, so good… However, similar to Joel, a move toward [...]

Talking with myself on the porch

Posted by Dustin on June 17, 2008 in Technology |

A few days ago, I decided to experiment by using a room on friendfeed in much the same way that I used to use del.icio.us… Which is to say that I’ve began bookmarking (or in this case “sharing with a room”) articles that I find interesting. In many ways, I’ve been treating the porch on [...]

Matthew Ferrara just left an interesting comment about Realtor.com Home Values…

And the reality is that Zillow (and other similar tools) are really inaccurate because the “conditions” on the ground are always [...]
