Seven Days of the Dog: BloodhoundBlog makes the short list

That’s the short list, not the short bus.

We are among the nominees for the Inman Innovator Awards — Most Innovative Blog category. These are the other nominees in our category:

Looks like somebody likes bubble blogs…

My own immediate reaction to our nomination is colored by three mental filters: First, I have a fundamental contempt for any sort of beauty contest. Second, I cannot stand the thought of not winning — decisively, by an incontestable margin — any competition I happen to find myself in. But third, I have no confidence that I will win any competition where the results are based on anything other than my own performance. If it’s an objective race, I will win by force of savage will. But I know from bitter experience not to put too much faith in subjective judges.

(I swear there are times that it’s like Fyodor Frolicking Dostoevsky inside my mind…)

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if we win. It doesn’t even matter to me if we get thrown out of the competition for insufficient obsequiousness. All that matters is that we kicked ass this first year of BloodhoundBlog — decisively, incontestably. Whatever the hell “innovation” might be in a real estate weblog, if it’s not us, it’s not worth worrying about…

    I think I’ll borrow this if you don’t mind. 😉

    Well, let’s see. Glenn Kelman’s a featured speaker; NAR has a corner aisle booth at the convention. Do you remember saying anything that might offend either?

    A serious prediction: you’re the best writer in the RE blog business, by far. What you’ve put together in a year more than kicks ass.

    Subjective be damned. I predict a win.

    I’m wearing a tux on August 1 and so should any other Dawg attending.

    Congrats Gregg. Just getting nominated is an achievement in and of itself to be proud of. How many wannabes would like to be in your league?

    Tux? I didn’t realize that RE Connect was business casual…

    Well, I won’t make any predictions, since they tend to be wrong.

    I was surprised when RCG lost last year and FoREM wasn’t even nominated. Hell, I even messed up my 1989 Heavy Metal Grammy predictions.

    That said, I’m pulling for you despite my prediction prowess. Good luck dawg 😉
