The key issue or wake up call for real estate agents is “Don’t be fooled, your content is very valuable.”

And I just agree with that line.

I just stumbled on this looking through the archives. Does anyone know what the end result was?

That’d be a cool deal! I personally this Active Rain’s worth more than $30 million, though.

I have always been a believer in hosting our own content on blog and website. I also don’t believe consumers flock to networks like AR. They, instead, do searches online for locations that interest them. Good blogs and website will be found – and you can compete with the giants. The only real purpose was for someone to make money from AR – in like all real estate portals, it was eventually going to be on the backs of realtors. What a surprise!

Its been 7 months or so now, any updates? This really makes Move look bad IMO. Does’nt do much for AR either.

I can’t believe that AR would sell out and I can’t believe that Move.com would do such a thing. Bad business is bad for them and bad for us. Nobody will win.

I had put up a post a few months back about the dangers of relying on social networking (specifcally not owning the content) and the fact that large companies are buying up these sites. Can’t blame AR for selling, they have investors that are looking to see a profit from their investment. One of the reasons I haven’t been very active for the last several months.
