Amending this: The site is live with Zillow.com founders Richard Barton and Lloyd Frink as the first Q&A links:
These are screen shots I captured during a teleconference with Zillow.com Directory of Community Relations, David Gibbons. Everything is scaled to fit the weblog column, so the live pages, when they become available will look different.
A Realtor-listed home with the Q&A panel. The listing agent’s contact information is shown at the right.
Detail of the full Q&A panel. The hot links will click through to user profile pages.
A user profile page with phone numbers plus email and web page links, along with links to all user-supplied content.
A home that is not listed for sale.
A home that has been listed for sale by a user other than the owner or listing agent. On the right is a link to that user’s profile page.
EZ Ads as they will appear on each page, three ads to a page, cycling at any page refresh.
The EZ Ads creation template. You have control over what you advertise, how much you spend and how quickly your ad buy is deployed. An ad will consist of a headline, an image, two lines of text and a clickable link to a page within or outside of Zillow.com.
The EZ Ads billing page. There is no automated billing/recurring for now.
The EZ Ads confirmation screen.
EZ Ads stats, very rudimentary for now. Zillow plans to improve upon this in the future.

[...] (and you all thought The Redfin Mavens writing dignified little articles on homes for sale was ”dangerous” for homesellers. Well, this is going to get even MORE interesting, now that the neighbors can get in on the act, as well as the entire General Public at large.) “Today, some of the most colorful and important information about homes and real estate is trapped inside the heads of local experts — agents, homeowners and neighbors,” said Lloyd Frink, Zillow president…By allowing people to freely ask questions and share information online about homes, we hope to unlock, for the community as a whole, a powerful vault of data…Anyone can now add an unlimited number of photos to any home’s Web page.”This could get very interesting. The bubble people will have a FRENZY, getting to comment on any home for sale in the country! Or any home NOT for sale for that matter. Maybe they’ll tack one of their famous POS photos on YOUR home.There has been much written about this tonight, most of it on BloodHoundBlog with two of the sites authors totally going to town on it. So I’ll just give you the links for all the rest of it. [...]
[...] I was riveted by the coverage provided by the Bloodhound but I think this tidbit on TechCrunch may tell the real story: “Zillow claims 4.1 million unique visitors came to the site in March (Comscore (U.S.) says 1.8 million, down from 2.3 million a year ago, and 33 million monthly page views).” Can these numbers be right? (Heck, we’re doing more page views than that.) Perhaps that’s why Zillow is cranking up the PR machine again. [...]
