Homes in Northeastern Illinois

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Are you looking for a home in northeastern part of Illinois or know someone who is?
All consumers know or have experienced the stress of shopping for a new home and how tiring it can be for everyone involved in the process. There are many real estate agents and companies out there who will help you through the process and take a lot of the stress and work out of buying a new home, for a fee. A real estate firm called NewCastle Realty Group specializes in the 7 county area of Northeastern Illinois (including the city of Chicago and over 180 surrounding cities) and has a website that consumers can use to search for homes in the Northeastern Illinois area. One of the communities that they provide a listing for is the Joliet Real Estate market. Joliet, IL is one of the fastest growing communities in Illinois and is know as the ‘city of stone’ due to the large amounts of limestone that was quarried from the area in the early days. There are lots of new houses, condos, and townhomes being built yearly in this area. According to the the firm, When a buyer decides to buy a house through NewCastle Realty Group, they will assist the buyer through the entire relocation process and will also provide information on population, school systems, and other information of interest to buyers.

As always, do you own research too on the area or city you are interested in, the real estate firms there, and housing market in that area before making the big investment.

I just wanted to test how technorati picks up the tags and whether it’ll have any effect on site traffic. Technorati is a very good tool for bloggers to use in order to reach more people out there with your information and to market your blog. Technorati is a very very helpful site for all bloggers.

Studivz, a copy of Facebook?

Studivz (http://www.studivz.net/) is a social networking site based in Germany for university students in Europe. It is very similar to the service offered by the US-based social networking site Facebook (http://www.facebook.com). Just like Facebook, it was created by students in Berlin as a directory for college students to use. The site claims to have over a million members as of November 2006 in Europe.

But the site has been criticized for being very similar to Facebook because it uses similar layouts, color schemes, and even similar error messages. In order to check it out and compare for myself, I visited the site. The first thing that caught my eye was that the home page layout of Studivz looks very very similar to Facebook. They both have exactly the same layout except for the color, logo, and that the Studivz site is in German. I couldn’t login and explore the site since I do not know how to read German. :-)
