Recurring Thoughts

Well, maybe not the part about puppies and small children, but maybe if the interview had lasted longer?…

I had to smile when reading GlobalEdge’s interview with Simon Baker. In just a few quotes he manages to completely rubbish all the web2.0 startups, trash zillow’s possibilities of revenue generation, and even attack a real estate startup funded by News Corp, the largest shareholder in his own company.

Never one to mince words, Simon

In the same newsletter, some kind words for Properazzi:

Launched in 2007, Properazzi is perhaps the most ambitious property portal on the internet. Their aim is to be the world’s largest property search engine and with 3 million properties, they are well on their way to achieving this.

This comment was in an article covering the world’s most innovative real estate websites. Besides the bit about ourselves, I actually learned of a couple of sites I’d never heard of before, and refreshed my knowledge of others we already know and respect. The guys at GlobalEdge have been doing a good job of putting together some very insightful research.
