As far as I can tell after talking with Glenn, Redfin's CEO, Redfin wants to be known for providing a minimal level of service to "rich geeks" for a cheap price.
Brio will be known for providing the highest level of service, to … (10 comments)

The truth about links in comments - 08/08/07 01:55 PM
ActiveRain, as well as almost every other blog in the blogosphere, places "No Follow" tags on all comments within our network. That means that Google doesn't "see" the links left in comments. So the only links getting Google Juice are the links in the blog postings.
We do this to discourage … (5 comments)
