WARNING! Horn Tooting: The Inman List of the Top 25 Most Influential Real Estate Bloggers for 2008 Is Out, and We're On It!
After what has been an absolutely whirlwind year of company growth, product development and business travel, it’s hard to believe we had any time to blog at all. So, I have to admit, being recognized for the 2nd year in a row as one of the most influential real estate bloggers, came as a bit of a surprise… albeit a pleasant surprise.
I’d like to think that the reason that I have been recognized as being so influential is because of the success of the many hundreds of real estate bloggers that we have developed over the last 2 years.
Collectively our clients have published 10’s of 1000’s of great looking and informative blog posts. So as much as I would like to take the credit for this achievement, the real honor belongs to our incredibly talented staff and to the dedicated bloggers of Tomato Nation.
Here’s the complete list of Inman News’ selection for 2008:
(In no particular order)

Most of the list have bloggers from West. They have missed emerging markets, hope http://www.realestatetimes.in fits the list a better way.

Congrats to all of the tomato staff.
So is Molly springing for a tomato sticker to put on each staff member's football helmet? How are honors like this recognized inside the mater matrix (materix)?

Great post. I started out with a real estate website and then added a blog as an after though a few years back. Today, my blog is also the focal point of my online presence.
