| What We Say: | Zillow allows real estate aficionados to "’write to the site’ by sharing information, asking questions, and engaging in a dialogue.” This innovative “virtual real estate forum” is focused around individual profiles of homes for sale, a lot like how Wikipedia works with its online encyclopedia pages. Zillow.com is nicely designed for searching all aspects of real estate -- “Recent For Sale Homes,” “Most Talked About” home profiles with lots of “Q&As,” and “Cool Homes” like the “Guitar House” and celebrity mansions. |
