Random thoughts on art, technology, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate: LivePads On Facebook

LivePads On Facebook

I confess.  I haven't made the time to go workout on Facebook for a while.  I keep receiving emails that people are poking me, befriending me, and whatever else, but I am afraid I have been MIA.

This announcement yesterday on Inman News might change that:

The LivePads application, available at http://apps.facebook.com/livepads, allows Facebook users who are searching for a home to enter their desired criteria for a home, to view a list of possible matches pulled from the Google Base site, and to save houses they like to their Facebook profiles. They can also choose to share these sample homes with a real estate agent or their personal network.

Home sellers and real estate professionals, meanwhile, can use the application to add information and photos about the properties that they are selling to their Facebook profiles and to share those homes with their networks.

I think maybe I'll go check out LivePads on Facebook later today.  And while I'm there I can return all those pokes.  :-)

Chery, good job. I was going to announce this today too. I signed up and added 4 of my listings. I hope people take advantage of this to show their properties. I tried to invite friends but something is happening and there is a programming clitch when you try to invite them. Thanks.

Missy:  Do go ahead and announce it, too.  I'm sure there are people that read your blog, and don't read mine and vice-versa.  

I figure with anything like that, the more listings it contains the more useful it is, the more useful it is, the more people will use it, and the more people use it, the more likely that one of them will be interested in one of our properties.

Cheryl, it makes my head spin too  :  )    nice to know it happens to the best sometimes too!  Whew! 

Thanks for letting us know about the new feature on Facebook.  I only recently signed up on Facebook, now I will need to spend some more time on it (er, what time?).

I recently compared the 2 and LivePads is more user friendly and has a lot more features.  Cribfinder is not quite ready for the big time.  LivePads will be my app of choice.

thanks so much Cheryl, I was just wondering if Facebook had such a feature!  I can't wait to go use it!

Janie -- I've got three or four listings uploaded there so far ... several more to go...

And then someone else tipped me off to CribFinder  http://apps.facebook.com/cribfinder/

Now I've got to try that one out, too.
