By now, you should know the importance of lots of photos for real estate. Well, digitalTHOM put together a few ideas to accomplish it using Flickr.
Even if you’ve used Flickr before, check out his ideas. I find that getting fresh (okay about 5 months old) ideas help to keep my creative juices flowing. Here’s the [...]
Ncomputing may be changing the look of your office with their line of thin client products. Thin clients are nothing new. What is so innovative about Ncomputing’s solutions are the packaging (No, not fancy boxes and wrapping).
Thin clients up to this point have required, at minimum, a dummy computer. This dummy terminal would boot up [...]
Wouldn’t it be great to have a face recognition program on your website that enabled you to determine which buyers are the most likely to buy? or, at least, determine the seriousness of their inquiry?
Millions of leads (stats are a total guess here) are generated everyday by real estate lead generation websites. But by the [...]

It’s a completely free service that works more like a real [...]
Maybe I need to surf through the Google Lab and Product pages more often. It looks like they recently made a number of new releases including yesterday’s release of Google Earth 4.
This new version will turn the heads of a few more people now that it’s supported on both Mac and Linux. It also has [...]
While working on a mapping project, I learned that the Google Maps API now offers geocoding. This is huge. I’m not sure if it was ever announced, but Google geocoding is there!
Until this recent discovery, I used either Batch Geocode or Yahoo! for geocoding. So in order to use Google Maps, I’d geocode the data [...]
I’ve been accepted as a beta tester for Ether’s pay-per-call technology. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, see my previous post on Ether. It’s pretty neat stuff. You can set prices to per minute, per hour, or per call. You can also choose different rates for the initial time period and the extended [...]
