It started out great: a small start up on a mission to change residential real estate forever... and then we ran out of money several times, betrayed the discount broker revolution and sold out to Prudential (the alternative was to sell out to Lendingtree -- which in retrospect might have been better). I truly enjoyed my role as chief software architect and development manager. I loved the team that I built. We delivered the best web-based residential real estate product (VOW and IDX) available at the time -- the business model was just flawed and the execution didn't follow through on the technology. *sigh* It was fun while it lasted, but I couldn't find a new home for my whole team and it was time to move on!
