What Users Expect from Your App
Everyone wants to disrupt the commercial real estate industry. Whether it’s a different kind of marketing platform, business process automation, new ways to finance or getting rid of the middleman, CRE disrupters are on it. But disruption doesn’t happen just because someone wants it to. That’s because disruption is a two way street. And this quote from Jeff Bezos makes that clear: “We don’t seek to disrupt, we seek to delight. If you invent something completely new and radical and … [Read more...]
Disrupting CRE – It’s A Matter of Trust
Innovation and disruption are studied a lot these days as everyone tries to identify industries ripe for disruption and figure out exactly how to disrupt them.

If they don’t deliver, you should stop paying for it. No whining about CoStar either. They’ve collected all sorts of data, added value and are charging you to access it. Same thing goes for those who use LoopNet as a data source. You can only whine if you know their data sucks, in which case, why are you still using them for … [Read more...]
Creepy Gmail Add-ons
I have a Gmail account but I rarely use it for anything other than testing. But I have to say, there are so many good free and low-cost add-ons that it makes me, a longtime desktop Outlook user, very jealous. Organizational tools, ticklers, self-destructing emails... And being a cloud based service means it’s so much easier to integrate with other cloud services like automation tools (IFTTT or Zapier), services like DropBox or Box, social networks, CRM apps - you name it, Gmail integrates … [Read more...]
