Real Estate's Most Wanted

Speaking of foreclosures, CNet News named Casey Serin, the wannabe real estate mogul who chronicled his crash on iamfacingforeclosure.com, the "world's most hated blogger" and calls his blog:

"irritainment," defined as: "Entertainment and media spectacles that are both annoying and compulsively watchable."

As the poster child for a burst bubble, Casey has since parlayed his infamy into thousands of dollars in advertising revenue from his site, magazine interviews and TV appearances -- but, on the other hand, has been on the receiving end of endless heaps of abuse by other bloggers.

So, with all the talk of transparency these days, shouldn't he be commended for stepping forward and sharing his experiences and putting a human face on a tough situation? Or is he just taking advantage of this new found attention and milking it for all it's worth?
