I recently posed the question about whether the real estate industry needs another social networking web site, and got only one yes vote, from a colleague in Albuquerque. I can understand the concern. On some level I agree with those who said we really don't need such a site. First of all, how ma...

I've been digging a lot into real estate social networks recently, and also looking into open source software to run such a network.
