NY Times Does Real Estate Blogs

While we weren’t thrilled with our photo (Mrs. B says it looks like we have a bunch of marbles in our mouth), we can’t complain about the exposure we got, along with four other real estate blogs, in yesterday’s New York Times. These kind of trend pieces are always tricky and a little bit of a stretch, but there wasn’t anything too cringe-worthy or off-the-mark in this one. (Interestingly, it didn’t result in much of an up-tick in visits to the site over the weekend; we witnessed the same non-effect when Brownstoner was the subject of a cover story in New York Magazine last spring. Our theory: Most people consume this type of media in the bathroom!) Because the story was reported six weeks ago, though, there was some information which was already a little outdated. Back then we were reporting that traffic and ad revenues were flat; since then, traffic has gone up considerably while ad revenues have fallen quite a bit. What did readers think of the article?
And the Blog Goes On [NY Times]
> “the Susan Lucci You’ll Never Win Award.”
AKA The Lifetime Underachievement Award?
For all those people who keep saying that the fincial crises is only hurting those people who work in finance, please note that Brownstoner said he fired Lisa even though business was fine. He did it as a “pre-emptive measure” (how very Bush of you). That is just one of the ways the crisis is trickling down.

Maybe you should consider the theory that the NY Times is a useless paper.
DIBS is right — it’s totally the Open Thread. That’s the one variable that changed. DIBS, you are so smart.
oh, oh, oh, I could be a contender!
snark- one can always award the Susan Lucci You’ll Never Win Award.
sigh- benson’s plea has touched my shriveled heart. Actually I think he may deserve it for his flase hope comment in which he snarks the snark. (you’ll look lovely in the tiara, benson- should you win).
BRG_ what’s this “humble”?
Yeah, BRG’s was pretty good. But they’ll be no fitting her head through any doors either if she snags the much-coveted SOTD. You and cobblehiller also rate a couple of meows. It’s anybody’s game at this point. I won’t make the mistake of awarding SOTD too early in the day again.
Snark;
Don’t be cruel to us older folks and give us false hope. My heart can’t take it anymore.
