-Censored name real estate agent’s recent comment here upon last G update. More on real estate agents.
I forsee G running with real estate real soon. Though I’m sure some of their short term future moves are larger than just that. The more money they make at the rest of the world’s expense, the less they will become a media darling, and the more they will be the M$ money media monstrosity. Geo-targetting with high dollar verticals will not be the friendly niche they’ve been in the last few years. Don’t step on the trail of bodies. G Real Estate - Global - Local - Keyhole.
It will be interesting to see it implemented, and what other industries they take on at the same time. I’m sure with each new G product, there will be new opportunities to explore, but there’s gonna be a whole lot of not so happy people too when their nice longstanding organic listings get bumped by vertical search placements. With online real estate growing to upwards of a $1.8 BILLION dollar industry, it would certainly be an attractive niche to raise the bottom line. I can’t say I’ll be too disappointed to see the some MLS rackateers have the “information playing field” leveled on them.
