Jeff Brown has come out from Behind the Curtain. His new weblog (blogrolled, of course) is BawldGuy Talking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hamptons Real Estate Blog<\/a> (blogrolled) has also moved to a new WordPress platform. One less Blogger weblog out there. The speed at which people can abandon software platforms should give every Google investor pause.<\/p>\n

On that subject, The Phoenix Real Estate Guy has news about a new Point 2 Agent weblogging platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Landlord Blog has started a Carnival of Real Estate Investing<\/a>. I like the specialization. There are some very smart people in that corner of the RE.net.<\/p>\n

Kevin Boer at Three Oceans Realty has maps!<\/a> I am ambivalent about whether map searching actually does anything to sell houses, but it’s slicker than whale snot anyway. Kevin also has a real estate office in two<\/a> boxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RSS Pieces has a great article on choosing the right domain name<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rent or buy?<\/a> Ask Todd Tarson at MOCO Real Estate News. I’m on the bubble on this question, and, not to bust any bubblehead bubbles, but I’m selling more houses than I expected to at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Greg Tracy at BlueRoof.com Blog argues that Zillow is relevant, accuracy be damned<\/a>. I agree from a different direction. Zillow is the elephant in the room right now. Its relevance is a given. As the BalwdGuy says, Zillow might be Pong<\/a>, ultimately just a blip on technology’s radar. Okayfine. But: Pong was big news for its time.<\/p>\n

Send a prayer out, if you can, for Jonathan Dalton’s father<\/a>. Pneumonia<\/a>, the worst of house guests — shows up unexpectedly and takes forever to clear out. Take good care of your own selves, too, as the weather cools. Pneumonia is what you get when you tell yourself you can ignore a chest cold.<\/p>\n

Hey! Where is Kris Berg?<\/a> I hope some San Diego newspaper is paying her big bucks for her sprightly sense of humor. If not that, I hope her absence is explained by a big stack of new contracts.<\/p>\n

Finally, it might be nice if everyone would chip in to buy Keith at Housing Panic<\/a> some lubricant. The poor sod has been Masturbating to Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
