Zillow LogoEven though the results of Zillow have been sketchy so far, they are building one heck of a business and are in a position to cvapitalize on it once the bugs get out of the system.

Zillow preisdent Lloyd Frink: “… it became quickly apparent to us that there’s a bigger opportunity in providing information than in having a ‘Buy Now’ button for real estate.”  via paidContent.org.
