The New Inman Site is Unveiled, and It Has STRIPES!
March 4, 2008 |
The wraps are off the shiny new Inman.com.
Inman has been an industry leader for real estate news and insight for quite some time. Their website was beginning to look a bit outdated.
The new Inman.com aims to deliver the “Same great news. Brand new site!”
You can take a look for yourself, but I think they have delivered on that promise. The changes are more than cosmetic, however. The site not only has a Web 2.0 look, but also has a social media structure to it. You can register, fill out a profile, find other Inman members and add them as friends, join groups, vote on stories or leave comments, etc.
The site has the obligatory “BETA” stamp on it, so it is obviously a work in progress. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
The one feature that I am particularly happy about is the fact that the Inman blog will have a new “community” section featuring content from a few bloggers you may recognize:
Oh yeah, and me, too.
Blogging for Inman should prove to be an interesting experience, and I am looking forward to reaching a new audience.
So check out the new-and-improved Inman.com. Put it through its paces, poke and prod, let them know what you think.
And hey, add me as a friend.

I immediately tried to upgrade my membership at Inman this morn ($149) but they were overwhelmed so I couldn’t really “turbo” charge my profile. Can’t wait to see what the site offers. From my first peak it seemed like a wannabe Facebook for real estate….

@Jim, @Brad–
Thanks! Like I said, it should be interesting.
@Jay–
I kinda agree with you. It is like a FB for real estate in some ways. I think that they aren’t real sure where they want to take it. It will be interesting to see how things develop. It would be cool if I could use it to segment my RE.net social media life, though.

Daniel — Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Inman shows exceptional foresight with the addition of the four new contributors. They’re all all-star picks.

All my favorite bloggers in one spot- very cool. Looks like they were having some technical challenges earlier tonight, but resolved now. I will definitely visit more often knowing who the contributors are.

Hey Daniel. Super stoked to have you on the team!
For everyone who’s been trying to visit the new site, please bear with us! We just got hammered yesterday and had our servers melt down on us. We’re slowly trying to rebuild today. Hopefully we’ll resolve all the slowness issues soon.

Daniel, A little behind on my congratulations. The sports analogies are all yours, by the way.
