As you might have seen, we just launched Google Street View nationwide — yeah we think it’s cool too.

But the fun doesn’t stop there…we’re also welcoming Spring with some fresh new features and designs. Check out our new Profiles (here’s mine and here’s Rudy’s) and Navigation bar and you will see what I’m talking about.

Why should I have a Trulia Profile?
As a Real Estate professional you can showcase your professional attributes to the Trulia community, which is 4.5 million strong and growing rapidly. On the new profile, you can display testimonials, contact information, your photo, specialties & experience, as well as your amazing Trulia Voices contributions. You will also have the ability to specify up to twenty locations where you do business, so buyers and sellers can easily find you. Check out Debbie’s profile here.

Any other benefits?
Well, here is the deal, every time you answer a question on Trulia Voices, it links to your profile. The more you participate, the more exposure your profile receives within the Trulia website, the higher page rank it can obtain in popular search engines. Additionally, if you add links to your own web site on your profile, it will help your site to be discovered more easily by people searching Yahoo!, Google and other major search engines.

Convinced? Good. Just click here to update your profile.

What’s up with new with the navigation?
Our navigation bar has a refined design with new drop downs suggesting useful links to help you find the information you care about faster. The site sections have been renamed to be more intuitive to home buyers looking for information; you can find Trulia Guides under ‘Stats & Trends’ and Trulia Voices under ‘Advice & Opinions’.

Cleaner, prettier, better.
You might also have noticed that the whole site has shifted to the center of the browser. It’s been a while coming, but we’ve finally made the site fixed width and centered. The biggest advantage of this layout are that it ensures a consistent experience of the Trulia site no matter what your screen size is. For those of you with bigger browsers you get a little breathing room on either side, making the site that much more pleasing to use.

Enjoy!
