Courtesy of Nishad, here is a new offering from HSBC, aimed at the home buyers in the UK. What’s different about this is that its interactive, and uses outside experts, hosted by HSBC. It looks like a good attempt to develop connections to blogs, and ipods. Apart from the fact it crashed my Firefox, (Grrrr), the blogit link and the download to ipod link don’t work, it seems to have the right pieces. But the implementation needs to be tested and resolved first.

I can visualise how this one will work once fixed, but I wouldn’t rate it that high in the new social networking stakes. Reasoning: its one way, sending info to customers, and doesn’t ‘listen’.

Welcome to The Property Panel, a monthly webcast where our team of highly qualified professionals come together to discuss and debate the burning issues surrounding property, on anything from buying your first home to remortgaging. It’s also a chance for you to throw questions at the experts, and get their opinions.
