Piping Hot Over at condoDomain Today
By Anthony Longo 21 02 2007
Man - o - man is it hot over here today. We officially launched our new Web 2.0 Interface today claiming the best condo search site EVER! Another big piece to today’s launch includes Yahoo’s new PIPES!
“Forget the Press: Read a Blog” is how we are presenting the new CONDO PIPES!
So what are Pipes? Well, they were released about a month back by Yahoo. Pipes allow you to aggregate blogs, sites, classifieds, portals, …hmm….just about anything you want very easy using their graphically fun interface. Pipes also have a full menu of tools to customize the way you want to organize and display the data.
For our pipes as you can see on anyone of our Market Pulse pages, we used 2 simple PIPE functions.
1. Fetch - the fetch function allows you to pipe Blog RSS feed’s into an aggregator. (as many as you want)
2. Sort - this allows us to sort as we wish. (we used descending order).
So in our Condo Pipes we pull from local condo and real estate bloggers and “PIPE” it to our Market Pulse page providing a great mini preview for what is going on in that local market. This provides local real estate data to the consumer (instead of this nationwide garbage from the press).
Its also great for the local blogger too, because they get link value and traffic to their blog!
Are you a local condo or real estate blogger in one of our growing 33 markets? Do you want to be PIPE’D into our Market Pulse Page? Shoot us a note and we will add you to the pipe!!! Hope ya’ll like the new site….
