Here's a perfect example of exactly what I mean about establishment organizations having big trouble getting the new social media. They can't handle the truth?

The Northwest MLS System has fined a real estate brokerage firm $50,000 and asked them to stop publishing their blog Sweet Digs, which reviews listed homes in Seattle and San Francisco. 

By writing about properties in the area listed by others, this blog, says the establishment, violated a rule that prohibits brokers from "advertising" the properties of other brokers. Oh please! Here's a link to the offending blog called Sweet Digs. I read it for about six seconds before saying to myself, "At long last."

A great item which explains all this and profiles the various players in the ordeal can be found here at this blog called Transparent Real Estate.
