I’ve been at Zillow for over 2 years, and this defintitely is the release I’ve been most excited for since Zestimates launched in February of 2006. When talking about this product with close friends and family (I know, I spilled the beans to a few people early), the […]

Transforming Customers into Evangelists: The Art of Listening and Engagement
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008I’d encourage everyone interested in social media and marketing to read Brian Solis’ post — Transforming Customers into Evangelists: The Art of Listening and Engagement. I live and breathe this social media stuff every day at Zillow, so it really resonated with me. There’s many good take-aways, but here’s one that I particularly agree with […]

“Blogmenter”
Thursday, October 4th, 2007You might not understand this post unless you work at Zillow, but I thought I’d share it anyway — and maybe I can “coin” a new word with this post. Blogmenter.
Blogger + Commenter = Blogmenter.
Definition: An active participant in the blogosphere who enjoys blog commenting much more than blogging.

It Sure is a Great Time to be in the Internet Industry (especially if you’re a developer)
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007I thought this was an interesting article in the New York Times titled “In Fierce Competition, Google Finds Novel Ways to Feed Hiring Machine.”
This quote by Alice Yu-shan Chang (successfully recruited by Google) was easy for me to relate to:
Being in an environment where you are going to learn a lot is the most important […]

Zillow Coverage - One Last Article (I lied..two)
Saturday, December 9th, 2006It’s been a wild & exciting couple days to say the least. I just wanted to wrap up my coverage with another interesting article (meaning it has CONTENT & is not JUST links like many of the other articles I’ve come across) that I have found…
Cathleen Collins at BloodHound writes a very in depth post, […]

Personal vs Business Blogging
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006So, most of the regular readers of this blog probably know I’m a dual blogger–I blog here as well as on the Zillow Blog. I thought I’d take a minute to highlight some of the differences between personal blogging and business blogging.
Personal:
The main reason that I started my own blog was that I wanted […]
Zillow Featured on the Scoble Show
Thursday, November 16th, 2006Robert Scoble visited the Zillow offices several weeks ago, right before the Blog Business Summit. He posted two videos filmed during his visit on the Scoble Show today–one with our CFO & VP of Marketing, Spencer Rascoff, and another with 4 of our talented developers.
Today at the Office
Tuesday, October 24th, 2006It’s always fun when Robert Scoble shows up at your office. With the Blog Business Summit conference the next 3 days, it was hectic trying to wrap up loose ends prior to being OOF the rest of the week. Since it is a blogging conference- you can bet I’ll be posting both here and on […]

It’s about an hour long if […]
Business Benefits to Blogging
Monday, October 9th, 2006Business blogging seems to be a hot topic recently, so I thought I’d dive a little deeper into the business benefits to blogging. Particularly if you are a Web 2.0 company, it is a huge mistake not to have a corporate blog. I touched on the subject over on the Zillow Blog with a ”Why do […]
Corporate Blogging - Engaging in the Conversation
Saturday, September 30th, 2006There is a new “When blogs work” post on Businesspundit that I just came across. Rob mentioned that he is less enthusiastic about blogging than he was a few years ago because the quality of the conversations has decreased. However, there are still conversations occurring, such as the one that resulted from this post about PeerSight. […]
