At first glance it looks pretty cool, but I have a few questions.
How is this different/better than the existing http://www.housingmaps.com/ http://www.housingmaps.com/ ?
How is this different/better than Hot Pads? http://hotpads.com/ http://hotpads.com/
Do you have CraigsList's permission to use their listings? I thought they were against this sort of site and the Housing Maps creator had special permission to do what he did.
- AdamGibbins 16y agoIt works in the UK, the two sites you listed either don't or are very limited (e.g. housingmaps appears to be limited to London only).
- ericd 16y agoA lot of the advantages are pretty subjective, and I'm biased (I didn't post this, by the way, I just learned about it via twitter). Housingmaps is great, and was probably the inspiration for all these sites. The reasons I wrote my own were its limited selection and inflexible filters, which were pretty painful to use in my search. Hotpads was around, but I didn't like it very much when I started this. I think it used to be more big buildings/complexes, and I don't like the flash-based map (I'm on a mac). It's perfectly usable, though. If you give both a try, I'd love to get your impressions.
