Greg Latin-phile Swann and his pack of writing hounds took charge of the ticket booth at this week’s Carnival of Real Estate — and did a bang-up job, considering the competition the Superbowl presented for their attention. Yours truly made the top 10, influenced no doubt by the pandering Latin title of my post, In Dentibus Anticis Frustrum Magnum Spiniciae Habes. Hey, even Bloodhounds are influence-able!
Top placement went to Zillow’s David Gibbons, aka blog commenter extraordinaire, for his post on…you guessed it, blog comments. David points out that the meat of a blog is often in the comments.
Mary McKnight, blogging goddess, made the short list too, helping to explain the subtleties of the “long-tail search.”
Fellow Silicon Valley blogger Steve Leung made the list too with his post on “When Not to Buy a House.” A David Lereah clone made an opposing comment on this post, suggesting basically that it’s always a good time to buy.

Thanks for the shout-out, Kevin. What really struck me about that commenter was how clearly it illustrates the difference between sales and being an advocate for client interests.

[…] - The BloodhoundBlog hosts the Carnival of Real Estate this week and selected When Not to Buy a House as a "winner." Fellow winner Kevin Boer at 3 Oceans kindly mentions me on his blog and sets up a punchline in his article targeted towards agents, In dentibus anticis frustrum magnum spiniciae habes. […]
