The Open Houses feature will be redesigned in the following weeks.
Organizing an open house day is a great way to attract visitors and potential buyers. If you got any suggestions concerning this tool, now is the moment!
ByTheOwner.com will be integrating in the next days the use of RSS feeds for the diffusion of the ByTheOwner Alerts. The visitors searching for a property will be able, with a single click, to create a RSS feed corresponding to their search criteria, and thus to be the first to know when the house of their dream gets live on the website.
RSS feeds are soooo cool ! But… why?
A RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication), is a XML file which a Web site diffuses in order to spread easily its contents. From the feed’s url, one can daily consult the new contents of the site without being forced to go on the website. Okay… so what? Why wouldn’t you want to go to the website?
Google added recently the GMarkerManager class to the Google Maps API. This class is used to manage visibility of hundreds of markers on a map, based on the map’s current viewport and zoom level.
Damn, I just received an email from the Google team telling me that there is a problem with my xml file. Seems like the Bulk Upload program doesn’t accept the canadian currency for our houses prices. Also, we are forced to display a USD price onto our own pages.
I think that I’ll display the USD price with the CAD, but only when a visitor is coming from Google Base. This should be easy to detect using the $_SERVER[”HTTP_REFERER”] variable.
