My House Blog Keeps Getting Media Attention

It's now been a full year since I sold my last home that I created  this blog about. 

And much to my surprise, the media coverage still keeps going, and going and going.

Here is yet another story in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

My House Blog Keeps Getting Coverage- Even After It's Been Sold

My house blog that I created two years ago, still keeps getting coverage. It was about a cottage in Alamo Heights that I lived in, re-did and sold.

Here's a story in Netscape's Real Estate section which was really a pick up of the story in the November issue of Kiplinger Magazine.

Amazing...

My Newest Blog is Now in Beta

My newest blog, 3Screens is now in beta.

Some of it is based on what came from SAtechBlog and will be taking a new direction with a focus on the end user perspective of how we view and create content on what we formerly knew as the "television."

Take a look and let me know what you think.

I am keeping this under the radar until it's further evolved.  I am making this public to readers with the hopes of input and suggestions.

British Blogger Tries Blogging to Sell His Home

Here is a British blogger, David Freedman, who is trying to do what I did in selling his home in the U.K. 

See his post by clicking here.

My only real comment is that it is not a blog about his home, the way  826 Cambridge Oval was.  He is using his blog on the subject of  animation and special effects.

Zillow.com Offers Free Home Valuation

I no longer own 826 Cambridge Oval.  It was sold back in late October.  With the sale having taken place, I figured that this blog would have no use. 

Since selling the house, some media coverage still followed, and I was recently interviewed by the Financial Times (London) on the concept of blogging about a house.

I recently found a free, online tool which will give you an idea of what your home is worth.  I tested Zillow, which was started by the same people who created Expedia, the travel site.  While the interface was good, and the service was fast, the results brought the house in at a much lowered valuation.  Maybe this was based on Bexar County tax records.  I don't know.  So, while not totally accurate, Zillow represents another disruptive technology platform worth exploring.
