We do not believe writing or not writing about any site will matter. People will do what they want to do. The only purpose of writing may be that it may cause some people to think and exchange ideas. In any case, writing one post on anything will never change a thing--that's just a p--- in the ocean. We agree. We do not believe writing or not writing about any site will matter.

I do not think it will be very pretty. It's almost like a blogger posting on local political candidates. A realible source sends such and such blogger a piece of information at 11:50 when the election is the next morning. She post that the said political candidate was arrested on charges of ummm drunk driving. Last minute voters change their minds and vote for the other guy. Truth is candidate 1 never was arrested - blogger gets sued! Blogger failed to verify accuracy of information in the above case. True she has no time at 11:50 pm as the court house was closed but still, image what the courts would say. Privacy laws are a risky subject and it wasn't intended for this type of stuff. If anyone really wants to make a stand about all this mess, stop writing and blogging about these sites. Let them die a normal death. Personally, I have no feelings towards these sites but if people were really worried they would stop giving them the free press on their sites. Sites like this want people to complain as they get what they want - free exposure. Sad that so many bloggers have not figured this one out yet. One post is fine - state your piece, why it will or will not work and let it die - if that is what you want or continue blogging if you want to support the measure.

We would then know everything about the property, the people's backgrounds who currently own it and we could track them where ever they go and see what they do INSIDE the house as well. Imagine if you could influence your home buying decision by knowing what the current owner's lives were like and what they were doing inside of it as well! We could then create a zHestimate - a Zestimate combined with a rating from the Human Listing Site. The possibilities are endless! Big Brother is losing his throne. Everyone, not just Big Brother will be watching you in 2007 and beyond.
