So…this is exciting stuff to say the least–Zillow is launching a new version of our website tonight (in process)! Personally, I think this is the most exciting thing we’ve done since we launched in February. So-what’s included in our new feature set??

  1. Agents and owners can post homes for sale–for FREE.
  2. Added a real estate wiki that is seeded with over 100 articles–and opening it up to the community for improvement & expansion
  3. Make Me Move–now ANYONE can set a “dream” price for their home

If this sounds intriguing (which hopefully you do), you can read more over at the Zillow Blog (I’ll link when posted).

UPDATE: We’re now LIVE!! Come on…go check out the Zillow Blog post and then visit Zillow and see the new features for yourself!!

Zillow’s own David Gibbons (Director of Customer Service) writes his introductory post, “Zillow wants Your Listins,” as a member of the Active Rain community (with 10,000+ members, should I jump on the bandwagon too?).

Keeping Track–I’ll keep a tab of the blog posts & stories that I find tonight. Here’s the run-down (in order):

In my search for new blog entries, I’ve been using IceRocket, Technorati, Google Blog Search, and Bloglines. I’ve concluded:

  • Bloglines sucks. At 9:54, not a single post has shown up yet. STILL nothing at 10:55
  • IceRocket sucks. Same result as above…zero entries

Update: Ok everyone…it’s almost 2 am PST and I’m off to bed. I’ll continue to monitor the chatter tomorrow as much as I can. However, the day after a release is always busy. Please leave a comment if you have a question you’d like to get answered and I’ll get to it as quick as I can.
