You are showing the way for how to turn blogging into production and that’s as original as it comes. All blogs are great.

You guys are all WAY too kind. Thanks.

And Louis, you have a way of making feel incredibly guilty about those late posts. Soon, REALLY soon.... :)

Phoenix real estate guy is not just "innovative" but an institution.

Where's the Phoenix Real Estate Guy.com?

I demand a recount.

I've read the agentgenius and homegain blogs and both are great blogs, and as you mentioned, both are deserving of the nomination.

Thanks for the notice and for the help in getting the nomination.Your late submissions are always worth the wait!

All y'all are awesome-ful! Thx for leading the way.

Like I said on Twitter... break out the tuxedo shirts!!! AG for the win, baby!!! ;) Thanks for being one of the voices on AG that makes it such an innovative community based on solutions (what a novel concept)! :)

@Michael - you're right. And a major sporting event playoff held when the bulk of the viewing demographic is trapped in an office is probably the ultimate test! I can tell you that Starbucks clearly didn't have the bandwidth! Nor can I really complain about free wifi. The timing couldn't have been worse though!

@Matt - I don't think they've ever nominated a single-agent blog for an Innovator award. I may be wrong, but I don't recall one. Perhaps a "local" single-agent blog doesn't have the "reach" to be considered innovative. Or it's looked at as "just another real estate blog". I'd disagree with that, but maybe that's the thought process. All I really care about (really) is that people find something of value here. Whether someone considers it "innovative" or not, doesn't really matter in the long run. Readers, and clients, are the bottom line. But I sure appreciate the kind words!

With all you do in the blogging community, I am very surprised to not see your blog on that list Jay.

Oh well, there's always next year, right?

Congrats to the five contenders!

As much as I love the web, there are certain events for which there just isn't yet the bandwidth. In some ways, I can understand why some of the ISPs want to charge by the bit. The current situation is sort of like the airlines screwing the business travelers and pricing vacation travel low, in that everyone loses. On the other hand, I'd hate to see innovation stifled by having broadband restricted to those who can pay for it. No easy answers I guess.

Those are very kind (and appreciated!) words Michael, thank you!

And thanks for the Open play by play on Twitter! I can't believe my video feed dropped out on the 17th!!

Thanks, Jay! Given what you're accomplishing with TPREG blog, I really think Inman should have looked your way more than mine. You're showing the way for how to turn blogging into production and that's as innovative as it comes.

What a cool blog.. Congratz..

Great list of up and coming and relevant real estate blogs. Bloggers should be recognized as much as writers in other media, in my opinion they work hard trying to keep up with the dynamic, quick growth of the blogosphere. I stumbled your post! :) Thanks.

Way to go Big Picture Blog!

All the 5 are great blogs - congrats to all!
