Continuing on the subject of building what I hope can become a canonical catalog of real estate weblogs, we arrive at the starting place: 150 RE.net weblogs, each one of them vetted by at least one currently-active real estate weblogger.
I can’t promise that the list is 100% accurate — and I know it’s not complete — so I entreat you to email me about any errors or omissions you identify. If you can send me one or ten or a hundred missing weblogs, so much the better.
Dustin and others wondered why I want to do this is this way. Why not a social networking scheme or a wiki? The reason is that there is no substitute for human editing. Any system that allows self-selected volunteers to make entries will be instantly flooded with spam. For what it’s worth, I think we will discover that the purported “wisdom of crowds” consists mostly of coming up with new ways to spam or scam or both.
This list was built by human editors, and, going forward, I want it to be policed by human editors — volunteers suggesting additions and deletions as well as contractors going through the list link-by-link. At some point, I would like to have someone go through the list and split it by categories and locales, but that’s a job for another day.
For now: If you want to participate in this project, jump in. What’s wrong? What could be more right? What’s missing? What’s there that shouldn’t be?
And: What’s next…?

Greg,
Thanks for the inclusion, and thanks to whoever submitted my blog. Been very busy lately and will submit some links later. Been tied up as the market is very active here in Chitown.
