WARNING! Horn Tooting: The Inman List of the Top 25 Most Influential Real Estate Bloggers for 2008 Is Out, and We're On It!

Tooting-my-own-horn After what has been an absolutely whirlwind year of company growth, product development and business travel, it’s hard to believe we had any time to blog at all. So, I have to admit, being recognized for the 2^nd year in a row as one of the most influential real estate bloggers, came as a bit of a surprise… albeit a pleasant surprise.

I’d like to think that the reason that I have been recognized as being so influential is because of the success of the many hundreds of real estate bloggers that we have developed over the last 2 years.

Collectively our clients have published 10’s of 1000’s of great looking and informative blog posts. So as much as I would like to take the credit for this achievement, the real honor belongs to our incredibly talented staff and to the dedicated bloggers of Tomato Nation.

Here’s the complete list of Inman News’ selection for 2008:

OCT

2008

Great list and I wish them well, thank you for sharing.

Can't believe that there is no Active Rain on the list. Knowing how many blogs some advanced members have, it is both surprising and disappointing.

Maybe I do not get it,

I figured that AR would be on here at least under community. Congrats on making the list.

It's definitely worth the discussion as to whether AR should have been included, as well as some of their veteran members. Keep in mind that some of the award winners are veterans of AR.

NOV

2008

It is a great list, and no surprises, everyone on the list has really set themselves apart and found their niche for blogging. They are all truly unique and bring a lot to the blogosphere.

What a great list, and what an honor for you to be smack dab in the middle of it. I guess whoever made up the list is a pretty good judge of talent. Good for you !

Love the Tomato in the horn! Nice of you to post this here in AR... I didn't think of that!

Some good Sunday Reading! Thanks!

Real estate tomato,

Which veterans on that list are from AR? really sad that AR itself wasn't mentioned though. :(

Interesting and familiar list. I'm not suprised that you made the list. This isn't the first time. Again, congrats!

Congrats to all on the list.

Jim, Congratulations to you and all the fabulous people at Real Estate Tomato. You are an amazing assembly of bloggers, techies and trainers, and I'm tickled to be part of Tomato Nation.

I'm not a bit surprised---they say the cream always rises to the top and in your case, that is so true. Congratulations!

Congratulations to everyone who made the list. Best wishes!

Congratulations to everyone on the list.........They informed me that I did not win but I did get honorable mention (Self-proclaimed!!!).

Congratulations to all! I didn't recognize alot of names but I'm new so maybe next year I will. I'll go check out some of their blogs.

Congratulations! How exciting for you to be on THE list! That is great. BTW..Loved your tomato map. That was So cute!

Congratulations! This is a good way to set goals. Get on the Inman List becomes a goal.

Congratulations to all. Like most of the previous commentators, I expected ActiveRain to be on for community. We'll be sure to nominate them next year.

Congratulations. Everyone mentioned works so hard and do such a great job!!

Congratulations on making the Inman List for a second year in a row. Quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations, Jim and all of the tomatoes. A consistent desire to educate and grow has kept you on the "who's who's list".

Not a lot of new names on the list but more of the tried and true.

Big Congrats to you! Keep up the great work! Regards-Kathleen G

Love it! Congrats in the biggest way as you deserve it! Best, Barb

Just another way that AR allows us to grow and get noticed.......great job.

Great list. Always good to be able to check out those on top of the blogging chain.

It's not surprising, Jim, because your Tomato site is a wealth of information for bloggers and you do a bang-up job at getting the word out there. Everywhere I look online, there you are. Congratulations on making the list! :)

Congrats, Real Estate Tomato! Your site was a big help to me when I first started on Active Rain.

Thanks for sendining the links to the other blogs - there were I few I haven't heard of.

Jim - this is awesome, congrats my friend. A well deserved placement for an outstanding team and company!!

Morning Jim, Congrats on the honor ( again ! ) ! Nothing like a little talent to get you noticed .

What a great list to be on, congratulations. The winners are models for the rest of us and how to do it right. BTW, I really enjoy my subscription to your newsletter, read it all up!

That is very fair list of top bloggers. It would be very hard to argue that any of those people didn't earn it. Congratulations on being a part of that list.

Congrats to the ones that made it!!! And of course Congratulation to you Jim!!! But where is AR?

Very cool! Congrats!

Thank you all so much for the pats on the back. I think you've all just inspired at least another year of dedication. Who am I kidding? I'll never quit! Thanks again.

Jim,

Well-deserved recognition for you Tomato guys. Very valuable site to visit and absorb excellent info from. Thanks for posting all the other notable websites, too, for later visits.
