Have you ever read a news story and wished you could instantly share your own views with the writer, editor, and/or other readers? Now you can. Introducing Realty Times Interactive, making its debut today on Realty Times. Realty Times, the Internet's largest and most innovative news service for real estate consumers and industry professionals, is introducing another real estate "first" to readers. Realty Times Interactive is a new messaging system designed to promote interactive discussions among its more than 250,000 monthly visitors. Realty Times Interactive is a unique technology which offers the topic-specific interest of a ListServe, the convenience of a message board and the interactivity of a chat room.

There is also the opportunity to interact with Realty Times writers, editors and other staff members. Realty Times Interactive will be featured on selected Realty Times articles which are suitable for interactivity.

Syndicated real estate columnist Peter Miller adds, "Reporters and columnists have always talked about how much they'd like to get reader feedback. Well, here's what they've wanted. Interactivity makes such feedback plausible, and in the future I expect that very few articles or columns will deny readers the opportunity to comment and respond."
