Is Expedia Listening to My Audio?

April 26, 2008 – 6:19 pm

I just got done listening to a great radio interview with Rich Barton, the CEO of Zillow and Founder of Expedia.com. The interview can be found on MadeFromScratch.

Rich talks about his days at Microsoft where he founded Expedia at the age of 25 as well as his reasons for founding Zillow.com the massive real estate home evaluation site.

While listening to the radio show I was checking email and received this from Expedia:
