Popular overseas blog Nubricks.com recently announced a new advertising platform dubbed "Launch Newswire" which includes an "unlimited usage" package costing £500/year. Nubricks claims to have over 60,000 unique visitors per month and 12,000 subscribers to its email blast newsletters. They've also recently launched "Property Ladder", a free weekend service where users can showcase overseas property for free, subject to editorial discretion.
Nestoria's Ed Frefogle is this weeks podcast interviewee on Nubricks.
Haven't listened yet, but the numbers suggest that Nestoria is miles ahead of their European competitors, in terms of visitor traffic, although Properazzi seems recently to be giving them a worthwhile run for their money with regards to visitor engagement
We're proud to have played an organizational role in Kendra Todd's Nubricks podcast interview.
Entrepreneur and Apprentice winner; Kendra opens up about her Apprentice win, working with Trump and where to invest in the US to beat the bubble. Well worth having a listen
As news reports circulate about potential strike action at The Telegraph, Robert Young reminds us that it was 20 years ago that Rupert Murdoch instigated the Wapping Dispute which shook up and revolutionized the British newspaper industry. Today, Young feels that Murduch is on the crusp of another media revolution - blogging.
Young seems to think that with Murdoch's successful Myspace coup d'etat, that he's now got his eyes on an even bigger internet phonomenom:
Today, the newspaper industry is again facing many challenges and possible extinction. The fiscal problems plaguing iconic brands like the New York Times and the Tribune Company are well documented. But the problem this time is not offset-lithography… it’s the rise of the blogosphere. Simply put, it’s centralized content production and distribution vs. decentralized people media. I have now learned, first hand, how blogging competes with traditional newsprint reporting and publishing. So where does all this leave us? If I was a betting man, I’m going to bet that Murdoch’s next move is to acquire a blogging platform… either Six Apart9 (which owns Moveable Type, TypePad, LiveJournal, and Vox) or Automattic10 (owner of WordPress). And if he does, it can prove to be his 21st century “Wapping”.Where and how does all this fit into real estate? Obviously, the changing face of media will no doubt affect how real estate is sold and advertised.
