REALLY!?! (Or Why I Attend Local Tech Events)
Today I attended a local tech event sponsored by REALTOR.com. I go to pretty much any local tech/marketing event I can go to even when I expect to learn very little.

Shotgun + Foot = Yahoo! Real Estate
Virtue Pimps Real-estate agents have been pushing the virtues of homeownership since homes were invented. Or since real-estate agents were invented, anyway.

Am I the Only One Who Wishes Yahoo Would Go Under?
…as in out of business? I loathe Google, but if I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I’d pick Google over Yahoo every time. I guess I need to fire my assistant as I did not get a memo that Yahoo would stick its hands up MyBlogLog.com’s backend (pardon the pun). Seriously. If I’m the only one who ...
Sellsius asks tough questions- Zillow Truth By Association
Sellsius has gone after Zillow.com several times, but I thought this was worth bringing back…. how naive are we? “Zillow’s inaccuracy may be painfully plainly appreciated on Zillow.com but as the zestimate starts popping up on Yahoo, Prudential and other respected real estate professionals’ websites, will it then gain an air of authenticity, accuracy and reliability?
