When RECON, the newsletter of the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, asked its readers a few months ago to name the best real-estate blogs in Texas, a few of them apparently nominated Swamplot. Gee, thanks! But . . . now RECON is taking its survey a little further.
RECON now wants to know which of the 19 nominated blogs are the most “informative or useful, or . . . simply the most entertaining.” Swamplot is pitted against 3 competitors in the first round: 2 from Realtors in Austin and College Station, and Dallas Dirt, a blog about that city’s real-estate industry from D magazine.
If you’d like to vote, RECON asks you to send an email to associate editor Brian Pope and let him know “what swayed your decision.”

Oh Swamplers, you have to check out the competition. General, dull, and safe. Mostly Realtors on their best behaviour out seining for clients. We may be snarky, but we are a community.
I haven’t felt this way about an election since Napolean Dynamite.
Hey I love your blog, and thanks for the mention but just to clarify, DallasDirt is not an Industry blog, it’s a consumer blog obsessed with the real estate industry. You guys do a great job!
Candace,
Thanks for the comment! We’ve adjusted the description.
> General, dull, and safe. Mostly Realtors on their best behaviour..
Uh, based on all the trouble I’ve gotten into, including threats of being sued, attemps at being censored when we were with a rband company, I’d say not all Realtor blogs are “dull and safe”.
We chose not to pester our readers for successive rounds of votes. I disagree with the way RECON did the contest and they should have announced at the start that they would have multiple rounds.
