I'm Long the 'Hound

In this week's most brilliant marketing move, team Sellsius has instigated a competitive blogathon between two of real estate blogosphere's most prolific posters. The contestants: Greg Swann at Bloodhound Blog vs. Ardell DellaLoggia at SearchingSeattleBlog (also of Rain City Guide) The challenge: 101 meaningful blog posts in 24 hours. The duel commences at 12:01am tonight.

The real estate blogosphere hasn't been this abuzz since the great Redfin vs. Zillow tequila shooter/jello wrestling match.

Clever Kevin Boer set up a futures market over at inklingmarkets.com to predict the winner. (I presume the winner is the either the first to the finish line, or the last one standing.) Usually, I stake out the contrarian position but today, I find that I've got to throw my inkles behind the favorite, Greg.

Ardell tends to be a long-form blogger, a constructor of augments, a teller of stories. Coherent logical development takes time however. She's only got 14 minutes per post - for 24 hours straight.

Greg, on the other hand, while a skilled story teller himself, has demonstrated a deft hand at the pack-a-punch-in-one-line type of blog post. The winner tomorrow will need more than a handful of these.

Make sure you take your position. I'm long the 'Hound.
