The Internet As The Fifth Estate?
The Internet As The Fifth Estate?
04/14/2004 01:05 PMThere's a constant (and, it seems, incredibly boring) debate about
"blogs vs. journalism" - which seems sort of pointless to me. It's
not as if this is a zero sum game where there's room for only one.
The two work off of each other, and often the lines are quite blurry
between them. Trying to set up a specific "us vs. them" dichotomy is
only an attempt (by everyone who bothers) to get more publicity.
Still, I found it interesting to find an
editorial in a large newspaper suggesting that the internet has
become "the fifth estate." It's not often you see the mainstream
press admitting that anyone outside of themselves has a place in their
world at all.

Real Estate Commissions are Too Low
Real Estate Commissions are Too Low
06/22/2005 02:23 AMPeople who sell $1 million condos often complain that paying a 6
percent standard (read "fixed by collusion" among realtors) commission
is too much ($60,000 for what might only be a few days of work).
Economists who have studied the real estate market, however, find that
in some ways the commission is too low because realtors don't work
very hard to sell clients' houses compared to their personal
houses. In other words they sell a customer's house relatively
cheap so that it will sell quickly rather than work for many weeks to
get the best price and 6% of the extra.
Why haven't we seen anyone propose a commission structure that says
the realtor gets a 25% commission... but only on the amount above the
assessed value of the property? Your typical $1 million NY or
Boston apartment is assessed at maybe $850,000 and could be sold for
that price with almost no effort in a few days so the commission paid
on such a sale shouldn't be more than $1000. If a realtor could
sell the place for $1.2 million via clever marketing, however, she
should be entitled to a fat commission.
The Real Estate Game
The Real Estate Game
09/08/2004 08:51 AMSome of you have purchased homes before, so you know a bit about how
the process works: Mortgage Approval, Appraisals, Surveys, Title
Searches, Purchase Agreements, Stipulation Sheets, Closing, Whining,
Bickering, Signing 1,000,000 pages, Moving, blah blah blah... Even
though it's a scary thought when you first start, and you've probably
heard enough horror stories to not want to go through the process,
it's really not that bad. It's actually pretty easy if you take a
little time and learn about it. It makes more sense than most college
curricula, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Literally
anyone can play the game if they have a dedication to making things
happen. This is an introduction to real estate investing using my 4
years of personal experience as a guide. While all of my experience
has been on the U.S. side of the pond, I'm sure enough of this
information will apply to everyone to make it worthwhile. (This was
originally submitted as a diary at the other site)

"There was an attitude among editors: Look, we're going to war, why
do we even worry about all this contrary stuff?'' "Editors at
The Washington Post acknowledge they underplayed
stories questioning President Bush's claims of the threat posed by
Saddam Hussein in the months leading up to the U.S. invasion of
Iraq." The
weblog
Lunaville notes that
The
Center for International and Security Studies at the University of
Maryland found that "since September 11, 2001, the Bush
administration has been especially successful at getting the American
media to confirm its political and diplomatic agenda. Media reporting
on the President amplified the administration s voice: when Bush said
to the country that Americans are vulnerable to WMD in the hands of
terrorists, the media effectively magnified those fears."
Lawrence Lessig says:
"As media becomes more concentrated, competition to curry favor
with politicians only increases... Concentrated media and expansive
copyright are the perfect storm not just for stifling debate but,
increasingly, for weakening democracy as well." Can we make the
media
democratic? P. Diddy Buys $10M N.J. Estate (AP)
