There’s always something to howl about.

Living up to the BloodhoundBlog mission statement: We’re everything you wish were in Realtor magazine

This is our mission statement:

BloodhoundBlog is everything you wish were in Realtor magazine — but isn’t.

Damned if it ain’t the gospel truth! Realtor Magazine does a cover story on real estate weblogging — and none of the Bloodhounds are there.

Not sour grapes. We’re the big dogs in this menagerie of minds, but, at the same time — we’re big Bloodhounds. Friendly enough, but fiercely independent and impossible to dominate. Does that sound like Realtor magazine to you?

In fact, the article is mostly a catalog of kiss-ups to potential advertisers, the usual sort of Realtor magazine mash letter.

Even so, congratulations to the real webloggers mentioned in the piece. My thought is that the waxed fruit is there to distract our attention from the rancid vendor stew that is the real purpose of the article. But, even so, the coverage should be huge for building credibility with clients.

(What would David Gibbons do? I’m thinking this is the kind of post that people find objectionable because I am not being falsely effusive about what is, in fact, not a wholly-positive development. I live in a graduated universe, and so I understand that most blessings are mixed. Realtor magazine’s objective — always — is to pimp vendors. This is why we understand, in every other context, that it is largely ridiculous and irrelevant. But — even so — this is a sweet coup for the actual real estate webloggers mentioned in the article. I offer them my heartiest congratulations. And I’m belaboring the obvious, I think.)

Tipped: The Real Estate Tomato.
