Hotpads adds foreclosure heat maps
Someone sent me a link to a story at Techcrunch talking about hotpads adding a foreclosure heat map to their site. I believe hotpads.com was created with a really neat idea of about making it easier, and keeping it real for consider multiple issues with moving. A mashup of data from various places is what they call it when you pull data from various sources and recreate or re-present information. From the comments at Techcrunch it seems that some people had trouble using the foreclosure tab to see it’s listing, not sure if it is a temporary issue or a browser issue or what.
there were also some comments there that made it sound like the data is not very accurate, but I have yet to see further percentages for that. All in all I love the hotpads.com web site and the ideas that spurred it’s creation.
