I saw this site today and thought it was very interesting. Check out projects.nytimes.com/toxic-waters/polluters. This site show all the water violations for a city or area. I think this would be very helpful in the due diligence process in the future when evaluating land. Of course, I check out all the property we acquire and thankfully the water is still pure. The importance of water can’t be understated. If water is not potable or too expensive to obtain via well then the property is just not worth the trouble at any price. However, with technology I do believe we will soon see areas that were unable to get clean water get it as I addressed in my last update.
Cool sites I have discovered:
There are so many websites on the Internet on any topic, which makes it quite hard to find the most relevant and useful site for a specific purpose on your own. Spring is an online service that makes it easy to find the most useful and consulted sites in any category and ranks them based on their actual popularity among users. Simply enter a keyword i.e. “finance” or “movies” into a search box and press “Go”. You will get a list of relevant websites (4 on each page) along with their image thumbnails. Hover with your mouse over a thumbnail to read website’s short description and see categories it belongs to. Websites are ranked according to their online usage statistics. Check out www.springo.com
The other site I recommend is for people whom like magazines, but don’t want to pay for them so they read them online. Check out www.magme.com.
Don’t forget to drop me a line about the site and if you are into Twitter you can follow me http://twitter.com/Landguru. Right now I’m not tweeting hardly at all, but I’m planning on getting more into it.
