We Added Feed Filters to Keep Your Dashboard Clean

March 9th, 2010

After we upgraded the feeds yesterday, we got some very valuable feedback.  We really appreciate it and thank you.

The biggest issue we saw was that the new feeds made the Dashboard very busy, which pushed down your important announcements.  Also, not everyone cares about everything.

We added the ability for each agent to filter out the type of the feeds that you do not want to see.  You can also use it to toggle certain type of feeds on and off, to only show them when you care to see them.  Your filter options are also saved the next time you visit the Dashboard.

Let us know if you need anything else.  Thanks!

YGL Feeds Just Got a Major Upgrade

March 8th, 2010

Did you notice that your Dashboard Account Feeds just changed?  We have upgraded the Dashboard Feeds to display more useful information to keep you updated with what’s happening in your company and landlords you have real time access to.

Here is a list of the major changes:

1.  Easily post a message in the feeds to tell your users something.  This is the place to give each other tips, keep your agents updated, and make your account look lively.  Post a short message and give it a try.

Type your message, and click on the Post button when finishedeasy-post-2

2. Listings, deals and photos notifications.  You’ll find that the feeds notify you of the activities in your company/account, when deals are added, photos are uploaded, and more importantly when listings come on and go off the market.

We also added a couple of landlord features.  Don’t be surprised if you see listing sheets generated from YGL, and invitations sent through us.

As always we really appreciate your feedback, and are working hard to bring you more features and improvements.

Auto Populating Listing Neighborhood Field

February 13th, 2010

We added a new convenience feature to automatically populate the address neighborhood field when it is not entered.  We did this through similar mechanics as the auto POI tagging.  We obtained the neighborhood border information through the follow websites:

Boston Zoning Info

Cambridge Geographic Information System

Here is the map we constructed in Google Maps.  Please have a look if you are interested and give us some suggestions.  Thanks!

We are looking into Facebook Marketplace

February 10th, 2010

Many of you have asked us to see if we can create a tool to make it easier for you to post to Facebook Marketplace.  Facebook has recently re-designed their Marketplace.  The new Marketplace incorporates some very cool social features that has never been seen on a real estate classifieds.  We are actively looking into it and we will get back to you guys as soon as we get some answers.

If you are actively sharing listings on your Facebook feeds, you should probably look into posting to Marketplace instead.  The reason is that if you keep sharing things that your friends do not care about, they will hide you from their feeds very quickly.  If you get blocked, it’ll prevent you from sharing anything later that might actually be of interest to them.  Use the sharing feature sparsely and carefully.
