Watch many more close shop given that Google will be here for the Australian and NZ markets. I think less monies will be directed to champagne and plenty of resources by REA and Fairfax Media at effective strategies. This represents the very first time that both businesses will find their previously successful business models under clsoer scrutiny. Some suggest that nothing will change - I can't agree as I am a firmer believer that times change businesses. Google are brilliant strategists at taking spaces - interesting to see how REA and Fairfax Digital now fill these spaces? Not sure that the corks will be popping – more like jaws dropping.

It will now be called ByeHome! Just as intereresting is that they were cold calling just a few week's ago trying to sell suburb banners to agents.
