Exploring the Property Blogosphere
July 18, 2011 2 Comments
Ten years ago most national publications featured a weekly property supplement, but the number doing so has diminished in recent years. News about the rise and fall of house prices may make the headlines, but the quality property features have fallen to the sideline in all but a few mainstream newspapers.
The blogosphere has since been influential in maintaining a wide range of content on the broad matter of ‘property’. From interior design blogs to secret agent sites and mortgage commentaries, anyone with an interest in property (in the broadest sense of the word) has been able to satiate their needs online.
In the property blogging sphere, a number of heavyweights have emerged after earning their stripes building content that engages with their growing audiences. Some bloggers are professional journalists, some take excellent photos and some need to use spellcheck a little more often; but all have a distinct style and something interesting to say, as well as a clear passion for their livelihood.
