A Profusion of Projects

Posted May 12th, 2007 | View Comments

I was just thinking about some of the real estate web site development projects I have planned or underway, and to tell you the truth, it’s exciting.

You know.  Progammer exciting.  Your endorphins may vary.

As far as real estate mapping sites are concerned, I have more to learn before settling on an API.  I’ve been playing around a lot with Google’s, and it works well enough, but it seems rather limited in functionality.   I like the look of this Yahoo App, and some of what I’ve read about the Yahoo APIs, but I’m also seeing some nice stuff shipping on Microsoft’s API, so the learning curve isn’t over yet.

As someone brilliant once observed, “The nice thing about standards is we have so many of them.”

So while I’m hunting for the API that I’ll want to use for my next foray  into real estate mapping, one of my projects will be finishing up the existing work on my overall Placer County Zip Code Map and the rest of the component area maps on my Roseville site.   A few hours ought to have the maps in good shape (for what they are).

Also in the work queue is the new company web site, which now has the brokerage-wide IDX in place but otherwise is too broken to be linking to just yet.  The IDX system for this site will take the place of several individual agent accounts I have now, which will be consolidated to use this one brokerage account.  At the same time, I have to sell off one site if possible, and remove about one to three more from Google’s index.  The idea here is to prune off the dead wood, so hopefully the rest of the tree will do even better.

Then there’s the work item:  more maps, more use of the listings script, more bug fixes and enhancements to the listing script.

Finish up the redesign of BridgetSells.com and ship it.

Pay some attention to poor neglected Amador County.  It’s starting to feel like Kim Jong-il:  I’m so ronery.  Or maybe just do a King Solomon on it and give half of it to one mom and half to another.

Write an agent performance feedback form.

Simonize the coax.
