Yesterday, while reading some blogs, I came across a post about myIPneighbors.com. At first glance, I thought that it was about a new real estate website (they need a new logo). I started playing around, checking my site, then moved on to other site that I’m interested in. When checking Zillow, I expected to see Zillow Blog, Zillow Feeds, or CoRE. Instead I find Zillow Eyes… What the heck is Zillow Eyes? Is it something new they are working on? Is it the new mortgage service they’ve been talking about?  What’s your guess?

For the while now (feels like forever) I have been hearing and reading about a site/service called Twitter. It has never really sounded all that interesting to me. Well, today I decided to just stop fighting, swallow my pride, and start twittering. But there is a twist, I am only going to do it for a month. If I don’t care for it…Done! If you’re really interested in where I’m going to lunch or that I’m updating my FaceBook at 2 a.m., feel free to check it out!

Tell me what you think about Twitter. Do you use it? Have you tried it? Sick of hearing about it? Love it…post your own Twitter link!
