Show off your local expertise on your Web site!
A few weeks ago I was chatting with Roberta (personal blog), and she mentioned an interest in a Trulia Voices button that she could place on her blog or Web site. Well, we thought that was pretty clever and not too challenging to build so last week we quietly launched a button that you can [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Show off your local expertise on your Web site!", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/07/24/show-off-your-local-expertise/" });

Monday, July 2, 2007
Over the last week and a half I’ve been calling up members of Trulia Voices to find out how it’s going. There was a lot of great feedback - both negative and positive - and I thought I would share that with members of Voices: Favorite: I’m generating leads! Yup, it’s true and, to be frank, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Do you have a True Voice? Making it work for you.", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/07/02/do-you-have-a-true-voice-making-it-work-for-you/" });
Continue reading...Build and Flip
Thursday, June 7, 2007
Periodically I run across companies that I think are worth a mention, and Flippingpad is one of them. When I was in middle school a very smart woman said something to me that I’ve never quite shaken from my curiosity: if you want to make bucks it’s in real estate investments. This began my grand scheme toward [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Build and Flip", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/06/07/build-and-flip/" });
Continue reading...Trulia Voices: first look under the hood
Friday, May 18, 2007
It’s been exactly one week since the launch of Trulia Voices so we thought it would be a great time to peak under the hood to give you some insight into what we are seeing. Since Trulia Voices launched Friday morning, we’ve received 1,474 submissions! Which is a pretty great start if you ask me. And [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Trulia Voices: first look under the hood", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/05/18/trulia-voices-first-look-under-the-hood/" });

Wednesday, March 7, 2007
The developers over at digital1 built truDat spent a few days building a mashup with the Trulia API - and it made “Mashup of the Day” over at programmableweb.com. TruDat is a simple to use Mashup that allows you to sort through the data supplied by trulia.com to understand price and inventory trends. TruDat also [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "truDat API love", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/03/07/trudat-api-love/" });

Friday, February 23, 2007
I spent the month of January trying to find a roommate for an apartment I moved into in December. I put ads on Craiglist pointing people to my blog, which had a description of the apartment, pictures and a chat client that I planned to use to turn interested readers into a roommate. The ad [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Talkin’ about Lead Generation: mobile phones and the web", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/02/23/talkin-about-lead-generation-mobile-phones-and-the-web/" });

Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Venturebeat.com had an interesting post recently about Google taking over the online ad space, and how this was impacting small advertisers because they can no longer afford the high price to acquire face time (more formally known as impressions) with prospective clickers. Is the company that made advertising egalitarian now inaccessible to the mom and [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Google the gorilla: The good, the bad and the ugly.
