“Real Estate Marketing for Web 2.0”

I dislike much about the RE industry - just about anything (especially from the social web) is going to be an improvement eh?

Let’s you create a listing for something for sale, then cross-post to multiple sites like craigslist, trulia, zillow, etc.

» The Innocence of Jeffrey Deskovic

Imagine you were arrested at age 16 for a rape and murder you did not commit. You were held and questioned without parents or a lawyer. You were eventually convicted (despite contradictory DNA evidence), and served 17 years in jail.
