Cyber Monday, Christmas Trees, homes for sale and other shopping trends
According to an article in today’s New York Times, 2007 marks the year that “CyberMonday” — the promotion initiated in 2005 by online retail trade organization Shop.org to create an online counterpart to the brick-and-mortar “Black Friday” — moves from gimmick to genuine trend. The phrase “genuine trend” immediately got me thinking about online real estate [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Cyber Monday, Christmas Trees, homes for sale and other shopping trends", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/11/26/cyber-monday-christmas-trees-homes-for-sales-and-other-shopping-trends/" });

Friday, November 2, 2007
When everyone turns back their clocks for daylight savings time this Sunday, I’m sure many home buyers will be wishing they could turn their clocks back a little further – perhaps to 2005 or 2006 when the housing boom was still in full swing, interest rates were at an all-time low and every purchase seemed [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "National Open House Day is November 4", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/11/02/national-open-house-day-is-november-4/" });

Monday, October 8, 2007
As frequent Truliablog readers know, we regularly attend real estate and technology conferences around the country. More and more, I am being invited to speak at these conferences and being on that side of the microphone is rather interesting. While many participants offer advice or insights on your presentations, you never really know if anyone in [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Me and Maggie at Real Trends", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/10/08/me-and-maggie-at-real-trends/" });

Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Today marks a special day, it is Trulia’s Birthday and we are officially 2 years old! Hooray! People often ask how Trulia came about and why we started it, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to share the story of how Trulia came to be… Sami Inkinen and I met as graduate students at [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Happy Birthday to us!", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/09/25/happy-birthday-to-us/" });

Tuesday, September 18, 2007
With the slowdown in the real estate market, it’s no wonder that industry watchers are beginning to wonder when online real estate sites like Trulia are going to begin to feel the pain. Already we’ve seen companies like Realogy announce that they’re cutting their offline spend to 70% of its home-sale ad spend by 2010, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Online ads and the real estate slump", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/09/18/online-ads-and-the-real-estate-slump/" });

Tuesday, August 7, 2007
(photo by whiteafrican on flickr) The dust has finally settled from the Inman Real Estate Connect conference which finished last week and given me a chance to reflect on some of what I heard from industry leaders and the star filled line up of speakers. The Inman conference is a unique event for the industry and all [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Inman Connect: full of geeky enthusiasm", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/08/07/inman-connect-full-of-geeky-enthusiasm/" });

Friday, May 11, 2007
When we launched Trulia back in September 2005, our goal was to help consumers find homes for sale and make smarter real estate decisions. Over the last year and a half or so we’ve been working hard to help fulfill that mission, by adding lots of tools, partners and content and have been used [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A big day", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/05/11/a-big-day/" });

Monday, April 23, 2007
I bet that many of you didn’t realize that Sunday, April 22 was Earth Day, a day for activists to connect, interact, and work to create positive change in local and global policies. A day for average citizens like us to remind ourselves to turn the TV off on our way out the door, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "It’s Earth Day at the Carnival", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/04/23/its-earth-day-at-the-carnival/" });

Friday, December 29, 2006
Before we kick off the New Year, we think it’s important to take stock of the year that has passed–to review our progress as we press forward through 2007. It’s hard to imagine that just a year ago, we were live in one state. Of course, it’s important to reflect on what could’ve [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Year in Review", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2006/12/29/year-in-review/" });
