I am still saying the same things today, a year later, while the whole DIY versus Get Help quandary continues. The beat goes on. We are still having growing pains, as a society and as an industry.

I love this post - excellent analogy; it should be a favorite. I do visit B&N and I also shop at Amazon.com. Regardless of how the consumer gets the book, the process of reading and digesting the information is still a process. As it pertains to real estate, buying and selling a home is much more than visiting the internet for a inside look at homes. Kris – Congratulations!

A thousand balloons for you! I'm an Amazon Addict and book junkie who loves nothing better than occasional quiet escapes into Barnes & Noble, Borders--and sometimes, a musty old book store. These forays engage elements that Amazon does not: Touch, smell and human engagement. Kris:

Your point about the tangibility of B&N is well taken. Contrary to many bloggers, I don't purchase books from Amazon; I ALWAYS visit the bookstore. It's the 1% hippie in me, but I even tend to stick to independently owned local bookstores. It is an EXPERIENCE that I very much enjoy and as an owner of a semi-massive book collection, I must say that regardless of the advent of the Internet, I make 99.99% of my purchases in person. I'm a touchy feely gimme-customer-service type that am highly offended when people don't jump perkily to ask "how can I help you?" Amazon has yet to politely smile at me and show me around a room of coffee smells and people absorbing knowledge- and no .COM ever will, even in Real Estate.
