Does the home seller agree?

According to an article from Inman News found here, Prudential Real Estate did not allow Zillow and Trulia to participate in a recent convention. Zillow and Trulia are two of the larger online real estate related websites that provide services to the consumer base from home price evaluation to search features to find properties around the country.

It would seem from the article that Prudential Real Estate the Company, is not interested in taking advantage of any services the two online real estate information providers offer.

Would their customer base agree? It seems to me that the customer would not be concerned with exclusive agreements, referral fees or how many sites highlight their home. On the contrary, I would think that most sellers would agree that you cannot get too much exposure for their home.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe the home buying and selling consumer are more interested in real estate companies gaining control of where the companies listings are being seen online rather than seeing their home listed on as many websites as possible.

And maybe pigs are landing at Orlando International Airport as I write this.
