I wrote about Zillow Mortgages' initial entry into the mortgage industry last night. Is anyone going to sign up? If so, I'd like to feature your experience on lenderama.  You'd be a part time contributor, reporting throughout the year as to how it's working out for you. If you're interested, visi...

I have a Facebook account, and it's great for it's intended purpose (connecting with friends online). But I ...

I don't know what it is. I also listen to the Dave Mathews band quite a bit while I'm on the computer.  Tonight, I ha...

I teamed up with Drew Meyer today at the Carnival of Real Estate. I'll be contributing to CoRE by updating the events list. For anyone who attended a BlogTourUSA, AR, or Inman event over the summer, I think you'll agree that getting out and meeting all of your online colleagues in person is a val...
