I’m juggling eggs in negotiations on between $0 and $2.2 million in new listings, but I’ve been following Inman’s Bloggers Connect off and on by RSS feed and email.<\/p>\n

Paul Chaney at the Blogging Systems Group Blog<\/a> was going great guns this morning, but I think maybe his laptop battery died. His summaries of this morning’s events are very good, though.<\/p>\n

Kris Berg emailed that Teri Lussier and I did not win the Project Blogger contest, but I would have been stunned if we had. If you’re going into a competition with the intention of doing everything your own damn way<\/a>, your only chance of winning is if the judging is based on how well you do things your own damn way. In that regard, BloodhoundBlog should<\/i> win the Inman Innovator award<\/a> — but I won’t be stunned if we don’t. Doing things your own damn way is its own damn reward, after all.<\/p>\n

Mail from Teri:<\/p>\n

Well…
\n 
\nMy apologies to Cathy and her indignant cats, and I hope I didn’t let you down. OTOH, I’m quite pleased with my blog.
\n 
\nI had an interesting comment on TBR last night that made me think that I must be doing something right with it. And this reader is a Daytonian, and not in real estate, and has little patience for Realtors.
\n 
\nI don’t know if I would have changed anything to do it again… Although. If I had put an idiot widget and a few goofy graphics in occasionally to bust up the dreaded “wall of text”, I suppose Cathy’s cats would be well fed tonight. But since I really hate those, I’d probably end up hating TBR as well.  ;)
\n 
\nI’ve enjoyed the journey enormously!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indeed. Likewise. And that “Well…” is just too perfect. Eudora Welty lives on at The Brick Ranch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inman Blog<\/a> reports that Redfin.com’s Glenn Kelman claims that I am sending them business:<\/p>\n

“Greg has long been my antagonist, and of course he is our best friend,” Kelman said. “Everytime he writes about us, he brings us business.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I find that difficult to believe, but Kelman also said, of 60 Minutes Reporter Lesley Stahl:<\/p>\n

“She kept saying I was full of s__t.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
