Welcome to the new Business2.com.au website. I would like to thank Jen Germann – a designer I use for a great deal of my work. For me Jen is a revelation, so thank you Jen! A great deal of effort was placed into making this site as slick as it is. We have not finished yet, and business2.com.au will be work in progress. We have not gone for a range of new features, but we have gone for a cleaner, faster website with a sexy new look. I hope you like it!
Contributors
You will also notice that I am no longer the sole editor/contributor of this website. I welcome Dave Platter from the REA Group and also Glenn Batten from Nerang First National and I am sure they will both contribute to this website.
We will not stop there and I am looking for more contributors to this forum and have extended an invitation to a few companies and individuals and I hope they will all come on board. If you think you can contribute then click here and I will get back to you in good time. I cannot accept anyone, but what I will seek to do is to get representatives from a wide cross section of the real estate and technology industry. If you would like to be a contributor to this website feel free to fill in our online form.
Dave Platter from REA: I am sure he will cop a fair bit just for being from REA and I understand their will be a bit of promotional stuff posted by Dave and REA. If you only had a look at my in-box there is also a great deal of new initiatives coming from REA, but I will leave that for Dave to announce on here. I have invited all major portals to contribute and I will hope to have some more news next week.
Glenn Batten from Nerang First National has been a valuable contributor to this site for a long period of time and I look forward to more of his insights over the coming months. So I welcome Glenn and I am sure he will provide some great stories and articles over time.
Independence
I can assure all readers that no matter who joins as a contribute to this site, I will maintain my independence and still post my thoughts on all the happenings in the industry. I have added new contributors because I think it is time to expand the views and I would also like this site to be a place where agents and industry insiders can visit everyday to read articles and post comments.
Commenting
As always I love dissent, as long as it is clean and measured, so if you do not agree with any articles, then get stuck in and post your comments.

Hi Pele
I can assure you that all major real estate portals have been canvassed to contribute. I have sent emails to all major sites and have had a few responses but not all.
I will of course be making my views heard and so will other contributors, good and bad for all portals.
