    Wonder how many share he's bought since Z went public to stop the share price falling further than it has? Going to have to dream up some amazing wonder products (that we don't want/need) to stop the inevitable. Good luck. Alex is obviously counting on you.

    0900 Day 1. Where is the off switch guys? No I don't want the shut the whole thing down, just the stupid bells and whistles someone thought were a good idea.
    We are a property portal paid for by Estate Agents, seems to make sense not to p155 them off,. What's that? You have already? Ohh! This is the master switch? CLUNK!

    Technologists and portals forget the main thing. Agents would rather they were brought local properties rather than gizmo software. Without the listings the technology isnt worth a light.

    Mmmm….So Zoopla are losing agents to OTM in droves. In response they have taken on someone who has experience of a property portal and has recently worked for a large photo processing company where customers upload multiple self- taken photo's onto a platform directly… cutting out the middleman! What could this mean I wonder?!!!

    Maybe you could of at least tried to find something interesting in this story e.g. where Z might be heading? Just a thought. But what do I know about balanced reporting?????
