Trulia to Acquire Market Leader: What are Your Thoughts?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Real Access Pro

So browsing around on the internet today, I noticed an RSS feed that Trulia bought out Market Leader (and thus our beloved Active Rain)

 

Curious as to what the rest of the Raindrops in the Active Rain Community thinks about this.  The press release stated that upwards of 45 - 46 thousand premium subscribers will exist in the new company.

 

So, what are your thoughts.  Good? Bad? Indifferent????

I'm not a big fan of Trulia and I don't believe this is going to help me become a fan. I think it it not going to be a winner, when all is said and done.

I don't care for Trulia either, Frank.  I'm not sure how this is going to work and it may affect if I stay or not.  We'll see.

I don't have an opinion on Trulia.  If they don't break or change the way Active Rain works, then I don't mind.  If they damage the way it serves the real estate community, then I won't be happy.
