In the News - Google + Trulia = True View
Google produced this video to showcase our use of Google Maps [Pre- Street View Integration]
It’s been an exciting day thus far at Trulia. Now that the new Google Street View integration is live, we’re getting some fantastic feedback.
Here are a few quotes:
Paul Glazowski from Mashable says, “In a partnership made official this week, Trulia users can not only parse address numbers and neighborhood data and the like, they can also take a little virtual stroll around the block thanks to those snazzy camera vans roaming around the nation and snapping pics at ground level.”
Nicole Nicolay from My Tech Opinion says, “For those agents specializing in relocation, this is obviously a powerful resource for learning about a new area.”
Greg Sterling from Search Engine Land says, “StreetView on Trulia can thus potentially save homebuyers time by providing more “context” to listings.”
Jay Thompson at Agent Genius says, “In true Trulia fashion, the Street View module is seamlessly integrated.”
Rich Jacobson from Active Rain points out, “Now your Buyers can see that HUGE water tank next door. Or maybe the description of a ‘filtered’ or ‘partial’ view by the Listing Agent gives new meaning to embellishment. And who knew that the Next-Door-Neighbor was a Used Car/Appliance collector? You can begin to see the value that this incorporated feature will offer.”
Mike Price of MLBroadcast guest blogged on Geek Estate Blog saying, “Things like the mashup of Street View and Trulia are the kind of milestones that deliver on Web 2.0.”
If you haven’t given our new feature a look see yet, just click on any listing within the 40 markets where Street View is currently available on Trulia to experience it yourself. Besides actually standing in front of the house itself, this is pretty much the next best thing to being there.
I was on Twitter after we launched Google street view and ran into Robert Scoble who liked how we implemented it. Cool!

“just click on any listing on Trulia to experience Street View”
Well, not ANY listing. Only listings where Google has implemented Street View.
Of course given Google’s goal of total world domination, it likely won’t be all that long before virtually every area will be covered…

This is only the second time I have seen StreetView used on a real estate website (the first on a national site). Trulia seems to be working hard to make a name for themselves (Zillow who?).

Geeze Rudy, I’m a little disappointed it took 33 whole minutes to make that correction. You’re slacking…
