Confident as ever that a next huge wave of the boom is FinTech. Great energy as young people leave banks and hedge funds and build product — howardlindzon (@howardlindzon) July 23, 2014 I had yet another mobile moment last week that made me realize how UNDER appreciated this ‘mobile’ boom has been. I walked into …

Zillow Update…I Want Yesterday's Prices, Not Today's!
The day is at hand…real estate agents are closer to extinction than ever before. O.K…that’s a stretch, but a man can dream. Zillow has a soft spot in my heart for pushing my dream closer to reality . I am reminded of the two idiot brothers Duke and Duke who want the machines truned back …
Long Phoenix Suns and Short Mark Cuban on Wallstrip
Steve Hilton is enjoying the Phoenix Suns from the ground floor. Since they are destroying teams like never before, I think it’s more fun to talk about them. So does Steve. I love our interview series because we are in control of the questions and I trust my instincts. There are plenty of places around …
Zillow continues to roll…
I love Zillow. I have no passion for real estate, but that does not stop me from digging their service, site and features. They are finally bringingdisruption possibilities to an ancient industry.

Talk about insult to injury for the management team at Yahoo. They …
There are SIX companies left for Google to acquire – Apple, Adobe, Akamai, Zillow, Ebay and RIMM
No joking. If I was a competitor to Google, I would stop freaking out over YouTube (mini tsunami), because you may miss the REAL TSUNAMI. I don’t know the order of acquisition, but if I was in charge of Google, I would be going for the FREAKING JUGULAR of TECH and the Consumer. 1. To …
Zillow continues to grow
I have written often about Zillow . I think it is funny and disarming the way they call their site BETA. They have raised $57 million and are deeply integrated into Yahoo Real Estate. The only people who don’t see this train coming are the big, fat, useless agencies and the teams of underqualified, overpaid …
Real Estate agents and Dinosaurs – Both not prepared for the storm. Look what happened to the dinosaurs.
Real estate agents are a favorite pet peeve of mine. They mainly suck. Period. It was the same story for travel agents and stockbrokers and they have become dinosaurs, those remaining offering much different and BETTER services than the old days. New York Times is finally jumping on the bandwagon. A pretty good article entitled …
