UKNM: RE: UKNM Digest V1 #544

Dave and Robin are obviously right; the survey is, quite literally,

incredible, but at least it's a starting point.


It reminds me of the days bands used to go and buy 100 copies of their

own records in order to get into the charts.  It didn't take too long for

people to realise the flaw in the system, but it took a while for the

technology to be able to accommodate a solution.


Having worked for a couple of clients in the property aggregation sector,

I was surprised to see 2 relatively small - though unquestionably

professional - sites represented, Goodmigrations and reallymoving; these two

may

have 5000-10,000 houses for sale on their pages.  But the huge corporates,

which have over 100,000 properties for sale, and are therefore surely of

more interest to a prospective purchaser, get no mention at all - eg

asserta, rightmove.


As a cynical northerner surveying the emperor's new websites, I tend to

see a common thread amongst the "successful" sites as those which boast

Oxbridge, ex-merchant bankers (spelling mistake) among their senior

management, whose friends have got them some VC investment.  It's a great,

big,

self-sustaining system of jobs for the boys, and if I ever get them up

against the wall.....
