This week’s Odysseus Medal goes to Matt Carter of Inman News for his four-part series on real estate weblogging.<\/p>\n(I was going to award The Cheez-Whiz Prize to Google’s applications suite, but I decided not to bother.

This week’s Odysseus Medal goes to Matt Carter of Inman News for his four-part series on real estate weblogging.<\/p>\n
