Last month Rightmove quietly deleted two numbers from its Google listings: "over 900,000 for sale" and "over 200,000 to rent". Right before we took it to the ASA. They'd been there since 2010. 16 years. Never substantiated. Makes you think about another organisation that's spent sixteen years not playing by the same rules as everyone else (of course, Man City have appealed ...)

"Black October": AI helped crack PHP, the code under most of the web. WordPress included. Agents: updating WordPress won't fix it. Ask your host which PHP version you're on and whether it's patched. Then 2FA everything. (Someone nicked $266 of my OpenAI credit this week via a third-party, Railway. They used it to start building a game called 'Godot', apparently. Can't wait to see it ...)

Lucy wants new For Sale boards. The Heavy has other plans. Portal fees eat the budget agents should be spending on their own brand. MyPorta is free for agents. Always will be. So agents can use their hard-earned the way they see fit - not see it shovelled into someone else's shareholders' pockets. 🪧

Honoured to be closing out the #PPW2025 event in Madrid yesterday - real excitement around the next-gen #AI portal that we're building. This really was a powerful event; 400+ delegates, 50+ speakers , an incredible amount of ideas, contacts, conversations and fun all crammed in.

Snippet from this (47th) week's Property AI Report - search it up on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you usually get your good stuff. Here I'm chatting all sensibly about #Zillow before @Goddard_Matt starts ruminating on his teenage years ....

This may not look like much but it's a massive breakthrough by @pika_labs - video sound fx from prompts. We've been so spoilt with the quality of video imagery that it's almost become mundane to see something like this. But hear it, too - and unscripted? Huge moment. #ai

There is a lot of meme entertainment to be had by looking up the #katemiddleton hashtag. The amateur way it's been thrown out to a conspiracy-thirsty audience is breathtaking. This will be one of those moments that's taught in AI school in years to come ...
What’s all the fuss about this new photo of #KateMiddleton and her kids. I can’t see the problem.
