Just over a year after my REMBEX redux, The number of domains REMBEX is indexing has grown to 1680 domains. Many domains have more than on blog on them. For instance, mariah.com has three blogs, Denver Modern, Blog Fiesta, and lenderama. Active Rain and Real Town host thousands.
I started looking for other RE blogs in March of 2005. I found 56. Needless to say, blogs continue to play a bigger and bigger role in the online face of our industry.

Todd -
Thanks for starting the rembex. Thanks even more for continuing to keep it up.
The rembex is one of the single most valuable tools to come out of real estate blogging - the aggregation of so much human real estate intelligence is invaluable.
So - Thank you.

Todd, Thanks for the mention of the Brain Dump. You need to put your blog in there as one the great resources. You have indexed some of the blogosphere’s great bloggers.
No doubt the Weenie is the way to wind down at the end of the day.
