Photos are worth 1,000 words (and a lot of money too) November 2, 2007
We “dog food” our real estate search product at Estately (we use it like a consumer): I subscribe to a couple of daily email alerts, a constantly updating RSS feed showing properties as they come onto the market near my house, and I subscribe to a feed of my saved homes to see when they [...]
6 Interesting tidbits from around the web October 11, 2007
