Here's a not-specific housing topic post out of curiosity and amusement...



Are there any TIC employees who are known to lurk IHB? Have they ever shown themselves or maybe even contributed to these forums? Anyone ever fessed up?



niketalk.com for instance, is known to have caught the attention of the folks up at Nike, and they refer to the un-affiliated site more than they will admit for informal market research. There may even be user accounts held by nike people who "leak" info and pics to feed the hype.



That site is just an example of the power of the internet (for good or bad, but more towards good I think) in having a direct effect on product, market, pricing, etc. IHB I would think may be another similar instance. It's a great source of info that I can imagine a resourceful (<span style="font-size: 11px;">*cough* lazy</span>) TIC employee getting their market research from and putting it in a report for their boss. Of course, sometimes I feel like I take the info presented here as word and don't bother to cross-check. I would be one of those lazy TIC employees.



(PM me for my resume.)
 
If you're a [Homeless Newbie], you can be suspected as a TIC spy.



One of my first posts regarding house layout and design tagged me as one... (well... that and a troll but that's another story)... by now I think no one here thinks I'm TIC.



Or... maybe that's what I want them to think.



<muhahahahahahahahah>

Cliffs Notes: Particpating at the IHB is likely terminal to your employment with TIC.
 
A recent employer of mine was perfectly ok with employees posting on blogs related to their specialty or knowledge on their own time. They even had a section on it in our employee training. As long as you weren't mentioning the firm's name, anything confidential or proprietary, they outright supported it. One example from the training was an employee posting on a blog on his own time, about something not being an appropriate investment for a particular individual.



I liked it there, but they are a big financial firm, lots of mergers, layoffs, you get the picture.
 
At the book signing a few weeks ago, I was approached by a former Irvine Company Employee who stated that there was a time when they devoted many resources to monitoring this site.
