According to CultureMap Dallas, real estate database website Zillow recently named its top 10 housing markets to watch this year. DFW not only made this prestigious list, but was recognized as the third-best market in the entire country. The #3 ranking places DFW behind only Denver, CO, and Seattle, WA on the list.

The digital age continues to take strides toward new frontiers with the release of new apps every day. One app in particular is grabbing the attention of the masses: Bellhops. Similar to Uber and Lyft, this app allows users to arrange for other users to help them with a variety of one-time tasks in exchange for money. Many subscribers are finding it especially helpful during the moving process. The Washington Times described the app as a great solution for moves that aren't quite big enough to require a moving company but are too big for one person to handle. For those moving to a new city where they don't know anyone, or for those who just want to avoid burdening friends with the moving process, using Bellhops to enlist the help of locals is a perfect solution. Based in Chattanoo...

As digital marketing continues on its track to eclipse television ads as the largest single sector of the advertising world, search engines are well placed to deliver those ads. Because up to 75% of search users never scroll past that first page of search results, pay-per-click ads on Google and Bing search results pages occupy very valuable real estate. Unfortunately for Bing, Google continues to reign supreme over the world of search. Not only that, but Google has recently increased its share of the fast-growing mobile paid search market, which already accounts for up to 52% of PPC clicks on search engines. Of those mobile PPC clicks on search engines, Google accounts for as much as 83% of them, as of 2015. So what's a search engine that's not Google to do? This January, Microsoft ...

This week in Detroit, the North American International Auto Show has attracted the biggest automakers in the world to the Motor City, where they're competing for the future of the automotive market. And this year, unusual new hybrid models are generating some of the biggest headlines so far. Plug-in hybrids are quickly going mainstream, with Chrysler, Ford, Volvo, and others rolling out new models. Already, the unofficial Best in Show award is going to a particularly unlikely hybrid, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, the first plug-in minivan. The 2017 Pacifica boasts a 30-mile all-electric range, and can achieve up to 80 MPGe. While most traditional hybrid batteries charge from the vehicle's gas-powered engine, these new plug-in hybrids also come with an additional charging cord, w...

For most parts of the country, especially the Northeast, this winter has been incredibly mild, and one might even dare to say quite pleasant. While more typical weather for the time of year has now begun to take hold in most of these regions, people living out west might experience the same sort of atypical phenomenon, but in reverse effect. Rain and snow have already started to fall in San Francisco and parts of Northern California in what many are predicting as early signs of El Nino. According to CBS Sacramento and other reports, light rain started in the area on Sunday, and by early Tuesday morning, downtown Sacramento had accumulated 1.1 inches of rainfall. While this amount is hardly significant, the predictions of harsh rain and snow -- in a region without heavy duty snow plows -...
