My reentry into the world of work this week was harsh. Two night flights, back-to-back meetings and enough Diet Coke to kill a lab rat. So this is going to be on the short and kinda fuzzy side. … Amazon has purchased the domain casa.com. Remember, this time, when they come for the listings, hide [...]

Friday Flash: More listings theater, Realtor.com’s iPad app and social overload
The debate around online listings kept going this week. Reasonable opinions have been put forth, yet the whole thing – the syndication angst, the franchise indexing backlash, the IDX hand wringing – feels anachronistic to me. Like a curiously delayed echo. Wasn’t the franchise indexing rule discussed for nearly two years? Haven’t many of the [...]

Move’s move and the hiss of resentment
The recent Move/ListHub deal enticed the cobra of puerility to rise from its worn basket. In the wake of the announcement last week, the typical real estate snake-fest ensued, replete with the hiss of opinion dripping from fangs of venomous conjecture. I received my share via RSS and email.
May I cut in? Move, Inc. acquires Listhub
Move, Inc. has acquired ListHub for $13 million in cash. Lots of interesting – and important – angles here. My first meeting of the day starts in 20 minutes, so here are just a few quick thoughts:
Realtor.com updates iPhone app: let your fingers do the searching
The Internet may not be a “series of tubes,” but real estate search from a desktop is feeling increasingly mechanical, like I’m manipulating a digital marionette with three strings – my mouse, my keyboard and my monitor. So when Joel wrote about an iPhone search app Yahoo! launched five months ago that allows users to [...]
Quick thoughts on the new Realtor.com
Realtor.com released a major site update in beta yesterday. I’m at 37,000 feet as I write this and don’t have much time, but wanted to offer a few quick observations:
Realtor.com drops some big iPhone app stats; I wonder where all this is heading.
They appeared every mile or so as I drove down the 101 yesterday, visions of contentment bathed in clean light. iPad ads. Tons of them. So, so appealing. And while I do believe the iPad marks the beginning of a shift in how we read, write, listen, watch and play on the web, there’s one [...]
Realtor.com fulfills its promise with new iPhone app
There are literally dozens of real estate iPhone apps out there right now. Our own list attests to that fact. And when I heard that Realtor.com was launching a native iPhone application, I have to say I was initially a little skeptical.

Another chip falls off Move’s shoulder
I won’t try to read between the precious few lines of the press release announcing Lorna Borenstein’s departure as Move’s president. But I will offer this opinion: I hope the company takes this opportunity to leave behind once and for…
