When I started blogging in March of 2007 (disclaimer: I am NOT stating this, and if anyone sues me please note that I am not stating this "for the record"), I did not know who or what a Redfin was; understand that I am a east coast boy (clarification: actually, Ohio but I now reside in sunny South Beach). I did not know what a Zillow was (sorry, David G. from Zillow) or for that matter even a Trulia (Dear Trulia, I'm not slighting you by not mentioning some fabulous blogosphere celebrity, please feel free to let me know who your front man/woman is in the comments. Thank you.).
I thought a "transparency" was something my fifth grade teacher put on the overhead to teach us math. (Whew! I'm thankful that "transparency" is a word, because I'm sure an attorney would find "transparency" and engage him/her as a client and sue me for something, I'm sure).
I did not know what "disintermediation" was. I'm so thankful that Pat Kitano is a liberal (disclaimer: because I am an artist, I am taking a little artist freedom--so just go with me here. PAT, DON'T SUE ME). I think Pat likes me-so I'm sure he'll let go of the FACT that I, infact, did not know what "disintermediation" was when I became a blogger (sometime in the last 12 months, but I am not committing to a date). BAD BLOGGER
I used to get so annoyed with AR and all the moderators here because anytime ANYONE mentioned the following words:
REDFIN, ZILLOW, TRULIA, DISINTERMEDIATION, TRANSPARENCY, that Kelman guy (again, east coast guy here), Web 2.0, WIDGETS, TLW, BB, LENN HARLEY--BAM: FEATURED POST!
So I have to deliver the bad news to all the above Active Rain "slam dunk" featured post subjects:
New HOT BUTTON featured post subject for 2008: DISCLAIMER
DISCLAIMER: To all the people/companies above, I am so sorry. Please feel free to sue the h*ll out of me!
