New York Times Launches Residential Real Estate App

For purposes of full disclosure, I am not an iPhone owner. But that does not stop me from staying updated on the latest apps to hit the market, for that day when I eventually do ditch the Blackberry.

Also, app knowledge comes in handy when you are at a party and in need of small talk, since there is an app for seemingly any topic under the sun. Let's say you and your wife are at her boss's home in the suburbs for a barbecue this summer, and you run into the boss in the kitchen, while your wife is in the restroom.

You: Thank you so much for inviting us to your lovely home.

Boss: My pleasure. It really is a shame that my wife is divorcing me and I am going to be forced to move out of this lovely home. I really need to start looking for a new place. I think I want to move into Manhattan.

You: I think you would find a new app from The New York Times (see below) really useful. I just installed it on my phone. Let's sit down and I will show you how it works.

Boss: You are the best. And so is your wife. We really need to sit down and start discussing her promotion.

The End.
