I tweet about Flexmls, UND hockey, and whatever is my latest obsession (now biking, was neo-Neapolitan pizza).

@robhahn Apparently this is a feature of my old Nest thermostat, which disconnected from the Internet when Google discontinued support. 🤣
English
A contrarian take:
A big new consumer category will be Dumb Appliances for the house that is completely disconnected from the internet, does not have a microchip in it, and is built to last decades.
Instead of the IoT and thermostats that talk to Amazon databases, we'll have the Walk-to-it-of-Things and thermostats that are analog as hell.
The home is not the office. More and more people will banish technology from their private spheres even as they embrace the hell out of it in their work and public spheres.
The second and closely related category will be Dumb Cars that have an analog engine, no sensors, no microchips, and nothing that can transmit any kind of a signal.

A big new consumer category will be an AI house manager for the entire family Can live in a group chat and can handle tasks like: - Manage groceries - Plug into home security - Scheduling maintenance & cleaning - Smart home controls and automations Who's building this?

@badlogicgames This is the most succinct and clear articulation I've seen of the three different use cases for MCP. So many other takes just focus on one and ignore the others.
English
do you need MCP for dev workflows? no, for the most part. allows out of context data transforms, conserves context window space.
do enterprises need MCP? likely, specifically wrt to auth, which is a bad idea via a fully LLM exposed cli.
do normies need MCP? yes, no other way to connect emails/etc. still a bad idea to let them use any old MCP, specifically stdio based ones. it's like your grandma installing all those .exe email attachments.

oh no, orange site is doing this again. didn't we beat this old horse to death already?

Our time at MLS Reset has been terrific so far! We appreciate the meaningful conversations, fresh ideas, and deep look into what is coming next to maintain our effort in helping the MLS define, design, and navigate the journey ahead.
Were you able to catch the SourceMLS update?

@PunkRockSean @BedoyaUSA @matthewstoller @zachdcarter @ddayen Perhaps Amazon is or was anticipating x.com/tobi/status/19….

Agents will become a common way people shop. So today we are releasing 3 tools to make adding commerce to those agents trivial: - Checkout Kit: embed commerce widgets and checkout(!) directly into your agent and chat. This is already being used by Microsoft’s @Copilot. - Shopify Catalog: low latency global product search across millions of merchants - Universal Cart: shop from any store, anywhere, in one cart With these, you can build seamless embedded commerce experiences quickly, starting with all the best products by the best merchants in the world instead of having to sign them all up individually. No need to build a complex new checkout, or dealing with regulatory marketplace rules. Commerce just plugs in and feels seamless in conversations. We believe commerce should be everywhere people are, so we’re making that as easy as possible for the AI age.

@mwurzer @BedoyaUSA @matthewstoller @zachdcarter @ddayen I don't understand the logic behind it when it comes to product sales.
Would you pay money to Macy's to go get an item for you at Sears?
Our products are not on Amazon because we have never wanted them on Amazon. But (apparently) we have to email Amazon to tell them that?

Maybe a morning news bit?
Amazon has started a feature called "Buy For Me" that has used AI to scrape the Internet and offer the sale of products from Independent Merchants without knowledge or authorization.
English
It's a fascinating replay of the copyright battles that Google largely won on fair use grounds a couple of decades ago. Simultaneously, Google and Reddit are suing SerpAPI and others for scraping their content. This Amazon case involves both scraping and the twist of agentic AI making the purchase. storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-p…

@mwurzer @BedoyaUSA @matthewstoller @zachdcarter @ddayen Wow thanks for sharing this. Like many small business owners over the holidays, I'm trying to run the business and parent simultaneously and hadn't googled yet.
Whatever small subset they started with back in April 2025 seems to have expanded in the last few days or weeks.

The comparison to farming is appropriate, because farmers have long formed cooperatives to work together. Brandeis, the most famous trustbuster, encouraged cooperatives. MLSs are cooperatives. They enhance competition.
English
I think it's time for a broader discussion of exactly how MLS organizations are critical to competition in RE. Without MLSs, a few corporations will be gate keepers and toll extractors, always winning at the expense of consumers and independent agents. No thanks.
English
Here's a clarion call for MLSs to prevent: "how a handful of corporations took control over the entire" RE industry.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube channel for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up. The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the entire agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing over America.

This kind of adoption is how MLSs make the market work!
Flexmls@flexmls
Excited to see strong adoption of our new floor plan media type. With it, we aimed to boost visibility and searchability of listings with floor plans and many Flexmls customers are seeing over 25% adoption. A big win for agents, consumers, and the overall listing experience!

Listing workflows just jumped ahead. 🚀
@flexmls introduced a new Auto Assistant tool that streamlines listing add/edit tasks and helps teams work with fewer hiccups. Leaders aiming to improve accuracy and speed may find real value in how this approach reshapes daily operations.
