Zillow is the most innovative company of all time. ALL TIME.

9. Zillow

As the real-word housing market collapsed, Zillow — an online network that connects and informs home owners, buyers, sellers, renters, and assorted real-estate professionals — soared to record heights: Monthly traffic averaged 8.2 million unique visitors in 2009, up 57% from the previous year. Among the features driving it are a proprietary “Zestimate” algorithm that appraises property values, an iPhone app that overlays housing prices onto Google Maps, and a revamped listings page that includes rentals. Additionally, more than 170 newspapers, including The Tampa Tribune and Seattle Post-Intelligencer, began using Zillow to power their real-estate Web sites.

Just got demolished on the Econ midterm. Ow, ow ow.

“Such reticence does not last in ‘The Pride,’ a diptych portrait of homosexuality then and now, which opened on Tuesday night in an MCC production”

Diptych is my word of the day.

Seattle is just unbelievably gorgeous lately, dunno what’s going on. Is winter over? We have flowers coming in. I hope it lasts for the weekend — I need to rock some tennis out with the lady. I tied her for the first time the Sunday before last. My mad pingpong skills are serving me well as we go mano-e…-womano on the clay courts. Hyperbole bitches!
