Gahlord thanks for the heads up on the center stage listing facebook tool while as you point out the content on facebook may not be searchable on google the number of visitors to facebook is massive so even reaching just the facebook crowd is pretty good

Hi Tara Thanks for this. I suppose Homegain has been ahead of the game all along by being slightly behind. I made the case against 2.0 for real estate back in Feb of 2008. http://blog.homegain.com/blogging-and-social-networking/the-failed-promise-of-real-estate-20/

@tim white Stewart Brand also said "information wants to be expensive" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_wants_to_be_free The debate is about two competing thoughts. Information can be disseminated for free -so information wants to be free Information is valuable - so information want to be expensive I think that is a worthy debate but not relevant to the trulia/homegain business model one. The debate is not over whether information should be free or expensive HomeGain argues that real estate agents NOT the information are what need to be featured in order to connect consumers to real estate agents. Trulia argues free content drives consumers to their site. I argue that the information that trulia has is a consumer draw but does not necessarily drive the consumer to the agent in the same percentages as HomeGain does.
