Trulia Inside My Head
How about some bookmark love? ::
After I subscribed to the Trulia API the other day, I expected to pile it on top of another heap of APIs that I don't use such as Zillow API, and the Google Maps API.
For the uninitiated, an API is an application programming interface, and in short, it means that these various vendors make their software available for programmers or real estate agents to make their own tools on their websites.
For instance, Trulia provides RSS feeds, that I have used to produce a list of properties on the market. Of course the MLS provides a more complete and up-to date list os properties on the market.
The difference with Trulia is, they actually emailed and called me! They wanted to find out my opinion of their API. What did we talk about?
Maybe the next best real estate website tool. You'll have to wait and see.
