Jon Washburn has publicly hinted at the fact that the new Localism site is coming soon. From seeing Jon’s blog post today and looking at the Localism homepage, it seems that day is July 9th.

Posted at 21:20h, 07 JulySo how many times has real estate been revolutionized by now?
I’m betting that the most revolutionary thing about the site will be hyphenating “real-estate.”

Posted at 23:25h, 07 July“real-estate” hahaha!!! I didn’t even catch that. There is at least one more copy error on the screen.
Joe, we are opening up the conversation to the consumer in a new way. Non real estate professionals will be able to participate on Localism in the same way that real estate professionals can.

Posted at 15:47h, 08 JulyWell, I do like the Localism the way it’s been so far. It will be interesting if the User Generated Content is worth while.
What kind of interaction will be available? Q and A? Blog Posting? Communities? Articles? Or some other sub niche?

Posted at 11:10h, 09 JulyI’ve spent ten minutes looking at the revolution and can’t take any more.
So far it appears that the revolution consists of trying to brand all Realtors as driveling idiots.
I know better, which is why I can’t bear to look at this stuff.
Someone has looked at this stuff and approved it?
