localism: 9 things about Localism - 07/28/08 11:25 AM
1. In 24 months Localism will have more traffic than Trulia and Zillow combined. (That's not an entirely fair prediction since Trulia and Zillow are focused solely on real estate, whereas Localism encompasses everything local.)
2. Where ActiveRain gives real estate professionals a chance to talk to consumers, Localism will give … (98 comments)

I just received this comment in an email and thought it would be good to answer it to the community as a whole:

localism: Removing skyscraper ad on Localism - 07/11/08 12:31 PM
Just a quick note to thank everyone for their feedback on the skyscraper ad. I tend to agree that the mix of advertisers takes away from the user experience. Expect the ad to be removed from the site sometime later today.

localism: 10 steps to Localism success - 07/01/08 02:34 AM

localism: Real estate agents are not the gatekeepers - 06/11/07 06:35 PM
It always irks me when I hear the phrase the "agents are the gatekeepers"! That is ridiculous. The lead generators are the gatekeepers. The agents are the information.

Recently the crack ActiveRain development team snuck in another feature that I think is pretty cool and is worth a mention. In an effort to encourage Rainer's participation on our soon to be launched Localism site we made the new photos section on the Blog Dashboard clickable.
