… is up at Real Estate Investing For Real<\/a> — but don’t blink or you’ll miss it. Only four posts are cited this week, because Joshua Dworkin elected to impose a judging standard that — in my opinion — has nothing to do with real estate weblogging. Not sour grapes on my part: We went with a Russell Shaw entry this week.<\/p>\n

But the simple fact is, as much as we might talk about wanting to appeal to consumers (not so much here, of course), the audience for real estate weblogs consists of real estate professionals: Realtors, lenders, appraisers, investors, vendors and technologists.<\/p>\n

All weblogs are written by and for fanatics, and, with few exceptions — one of whom we will introduce to you tomorrow — there are very few fanatical real estate consumers. Swallow hard and get used to it.<\/p>\n

Last week, someone at CoRE HQ had the idea of citing all the losing posts<\/a>. I hated the idea at the time — too much like a “Participation” ribbon at the Special Olympics — but I don’t hate it quite as much this week<\/a>. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see what I missed.<\/p>\n

I’ll tip my hat to Joshua Dworkin for hewing to his own standards — even as I pray that no one copies them…
