The problem is surely mine, but I don’t get Socket Site. It’s beautifully executed and cogently written, but I can’t for the life of me figure out who it’s written for…
Socket Site is one of many real estate weblogs I categorize under the general heading of “listing blogs”. It seems to be — although I admit I could be wrong — a daily review of available condominiums. One could draw an analogy to restaurant reviews — except that you eat out rather more often than you buy a condominium.
So my question is: Who is the audience? A rotating population of condo buyers? A regular population of condo aficionados? Other Realtors? I just don’t get it. It’s so pretty I keep it in my feed, but I don’t understand how it’s supposed to work…

Puppy?

You’ll need to explain the purpose of that tag to us ordinary mortals.
PS You’re rockin’ on these things!

We used “Puppy” as a tag when we were testing Ecto, a desktop blogging tool that we initiate our articles in… Greg added “Sellsius 101” to the Technorati tags on his local Ecto, but the darn thing keeps posting as “Puppy”! No time to figure out what the problem is, so he has to go back in to fix his posts as he goes along. If your feed picks up the post before he fixes it, you’re stuck with a cute little puppy… kinda how we ended up with 4 dogs and 9 indoor cats 😉

I think Christine of NY Houses 4 Sale has the better plan: a separate blog for listings

I agree with you on this one. I’ve added Socket Site to my favorites, twice, then dropped it, because I couldn’t find any compelling reason to go there. I’m not from San Francisco. Even if I was, and was a buyer, how would it help me???
