And it isn't pretty...
While rolling through Twitter this morning, I came across a Twit by Jay Thompson. He is a guy I like and respect, and he was busy being VERY pissed off, so I followed it back to see what the hubbub was about...
Enter the Redfin blog and Carol Hian. She had decided to do a whiny hatchet job on Kris Berg and her canned food drive... ostensibly because of Kris mentioning that Redfin was moving away from its original business model towards one that is more conventional.
I don't think she really had a clue as to what she was doing. She fired up the RE net.
Jay Thompson's PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com post.
Daniel Rothamel's Real Estate Zebra Blog post.
Joseph Ferrara's Sellsius Blog post.
Mummy Dog's Blog post.
Sara Bonnert of Zillow writing here.
In the comments you can see the heavy hitters of the RE.net lining up again Ms. Hian. Greg Swan (Bloodhound Blog), Joseph Ferrara (Sellsius), Bob Stewart (Active Rain), Brad Nix (MaxSell and REtechSouth), Daniel Rothamel (Real Estate Zebra), Jay Thompson (PhoenixRealEstateGuy), Bawldguy... Now even Glenn Kelman (Redfin).
Bad move...

Here's how I heard about it. Disquesting in every way. Kris is an excellent agent and no one should be harassed like this, I know Glenn apologized but heck it is already out there in the cyberspace.
Missy - Thanks for that link.
Jason - This wasn't a war as much as a police action... and a one sided one at that.
Denise - I guess Carol didn't...
