Innovation Begets Innovation

When the iPad came out a few months back, DotLoop CTO Matt Vorst was curious as to what I thought. I'm a Mac and Matt's a PC, but honestly, I was not too excited about the device.

What I was excited about was what it would do for the industry as a whole. Apple's designs have a tendency to resonate with the rest of the technology industry so, whether you have an iPod or an mp3 player of a different sort, their innovations will eventually become an industry standard.

In today's Wall Street Journal, it was announced that Google and Verizon are in the midst of creating their own tablet computer. This is great news, especially in light of Monday's announcement that the iPhone had its second-place mantel (behind RIM's BlackBerry) usurped by Google's Android within the smartphone market. After all, innovation begets innovation.

Real estate technology is no different and DotLoop is excited to be at the forefront. Thanks to our innovations, forms software is no longer just forms software; it's a negotiation tool.

As another technology company puts it, "you've got to admit, it's getting better."
