"Official" real estate blog launched

Well, it actually launched last month, but by now there have been enough posts published to get a good sense of what this blog is all about. Here's a portion of the press release from the launch of realblogging.com (which is produced by RealtyU, Inc.):

Real Estate Industry Gets National Blogging Website
As Industry Icons Blog Together

ALISO VIEJO, CA, April 19, 2006 – Until a year ago blogs were considered a curiosity, but this early cult phenomenon has now gone mainstream in a big way. Today there are thought to be more than 30 million “bloggers” worldwide and growing by thousands every day. Blog is short for “web log,” and is basically an online platform published on a website where “bloggers” (those who write the entries) offer their opinions and thoughts.

To meet this growing need in the real estate industry RealBlogging (www.realblogging.com) – the self proclaimed Official Real Estate Industry Blog – was launched this week. Validating that claim is their line up of bloggers that reads like a real estate who’s who of Authors, Speakers and Real Estate Experts. Collectively RealBlogging may have pooled together the most extensive real estate brain trust the industry has ever seen. With interaction and blogging in large part being based on the sharing of knowledge, this level of cooperation is unheard of and to be applauded.
