Examiner.com is buzzing about DeadlineNews.Com's Ned Buratovich

Apparently, when Ned Buratovich isn't developing web sites or busting politico chops, some of his time is spent helping our furry friends.

Deadline Newsroom - Examiner.com's Valerie Heimerich, the Sacramento Pet Rescue Examiner, recently gave a shout out to Ned Buratovich, DeadlineNews.Com's Web Master and Editorial Artist, for the big guy's love of animals.

Apparently, when Buratovich isn't developing web sites or busting politico chops some of his time is spent helping our furry friends.

Heimerich's story reports when Suna Kneisley needed assistance for her Sacramento nonprofit group Cats About Town Society (C.A.T.S.), Buratovich stepped in, pro bono, and created an animal rescue web site that's, well, the cat's pajamas.

Buratovich also, ahem, pawsed for the cause with a web site design for Spay It Forward, a non-profit that filled Japan's SPCA gap after the magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, March 11, 2011.

Kneisley describes Buratovich as one of the most "boundlessly creative, dynamic and whimsical" people she knows.

Deadline Newsroom - DeadlineNews.Com is often ahead of the curve reporting real estate news, including the big stories, because the news site's primary beat is real estate news, "News that really hits home!" to be exact.

CNN reported on Oct. 31 "Home prices heading for triple-dip."

CNN's story was based on "Fiserv, a financial analytics company, reporting home values are expected to fall another 3.6 percent by next June, pushing them to a new low of 35 percent below the peak reached in early 2006 and marking a triple dip in prices."

DeadlineNews.Com reported on Oct. 7, nearly a month earlier, "Triple-dip could pile on housing doom and gloom."

DeadlineNews.Com story was based on "a mashup of three recent housing market reports, (revealing) home ownership has suffered its greatest bust since the Great Depression, 10 million more foreclosures may be headed for the pipeline and a triple-dip in home prices may be just around the corner."

It reported; "Clear Capital forecast a 'small skid in prices for the fourth quarter of 2011, and a continued slide in home prices through the end of the first quarter of 2012...the market is 'flirting with a triple dip,' Clear Capital says."

Deadline Newsroom - Well no wonder an early advertiser hit the jackpot.



Frankly, and we concede, given our crappy old site (Check the Wayback Machine), we had no where to go but up and our page views remain far from where they'll go, but we are hopping happy about this jump in visits to our new and improved web site.

We want to thank all our readers who've stuck by us for so many soft years and we especially want to thank businesses who early on have come to our support. But then, a good business knows a bargain when it sees one.

Lock in your advertisement space in now. It's only going to cost a lot more later. We expect some serious zoom from our new site.

Stay tuned here and on our web site's Buzz page for more updates.
