I noticed. I think this has to do with the Digg syndrome. People who have marketing agendas are hard pressed to market on digg - for various reasons. So people who are disenfranchised tend to think that creating another site with the same functionality will work. I guess, there's not enough real estate professionals who appreciate a digg for real estate news. @Jay,

Apparently in the intervening years, it changed. I also wouldn't put anything into realestatevoices.com. Given that their "breaking news" page has articles posted from 47 to 157 days ago, it looks like it's not really a viable site either. Goes to show how things change on the internet. Dan –

I don't know about you guys, but when I went to houssee.com all I see are Japanese characters. Anyway, realestatevoices seem to be working fine. It's nice to see the real estate industry embracing the web 2.0 phenomenon. Anyway, do you want to see another site that's also a web 2.0 phenom? It features Real Time Listing Tweets by State. If you're interested, just click on my name :) Ummm. I don’t know about you guys, but when I went to houssee.com all I see are Japanese characters. Anyway, realestatevoices seem to be working fine.

No worries at all. You might try some more posts using the email I sent you. @Brad, thanks for the good wishes. The best thing to do if you want it to take off is to come participate, and tell your friends and readers. I'm an avid participant myself and I always try to give almost everyone a vote or two as they come in to make it worth signing up (with apologies if I missed a story or two). After that it's pretty much up to the users to decide what stories of their own they want to publish, and which ones they enjoyed enough to vote up. As far as marketing plans go, I do have some ideas that may help it along like a Carnival-of-Real-Estate-like traveling Houssee contest. But in the end, if it doesn't go ballistic and all that happens is I meet twenty or thirty nice new people and we get some link love and good fellowship going that's fine. My main plan is simply to watch the flow of submissions to ensure that we're not getting either non-real-estate spam or internal manipulation of the results. Then I'm going to sell it to Move.com for $30,000,000. Just kidding! :) Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You can win a genuine picture of a tee shirt: http://www.activerain.com/blogsview/530053/Publish-and-Vote-for Admittedly, we may need a classier looking award... @Chris, I went ahead and deleted your post and just reposted it.

I followed RealEstateVoices and Puurple.com but neither one have been able to get "viral marketing" on their side. I wonder how John's marketing plan differs from the other Real Estate Social Voting sites. Best of Luck John! I really hope this site takes off.
