If all else fails, become an estate agent

So despite the obvious problems in the US with its real estate housing market, some of meta search giant Kayak's investors are also dabbling in a site which buys and sells houses.

The idea is that the principles behind a highly Ajax-led site like Kayak can also be applied to the user experience for a site which basically aggregates properties on the market.

It's rather smart and worth a second look.
