We have put together a few smaller features that we thought you may want to know about.
Google Street View Opt-out
We released Google Street View on Zero Day when it came to Canada. Today we added a little update to allow you to disable Street View either for all listings on your website or for an individual listing. Google Street View car may have passed your listing when there was a construction or the view just isn’t right: now you can choose to disable it.
Google Map fine-tuning
MyRealPage applies a “best effort” technique to determine your listing’s location. Even so, sometimes, due to a rural address or some other circumstances, it may not be possible to accurately establish a listing’s location on Google Map. Sometimes, the location is half a block away from where it needs to be. Now, you can fine-tune your listing’s location yourself, without resorting to handling long decimal numbers for longitude and latitude. You can simply drag-and-drop a listing marker in an integrated Google Map in your Listing Editor in the Private Office:
CoolIris for Cool Browsing:
MyRealPage has also done some tweaks in its Listing RSS feeds. As a by-product of it, we now fully support CoolIris browser add-on. Why would you care? There may be an interesting way to use this feature. If you are a broker with a street-level windows or mall office, you may want to set up one or two TVs and showcase your office listings in your windows. It would be interesting to see if CoolIris could be suited for such a showcase. Check out the video below:
We hope you will enjoy these features.

Wow! There is no end to the improvements you folks are cranking out. The Cooliris thing is, well, pretty friggin' cool. I'm guessing though that one would need the full MRP website product as opposed to the embeddable listings widget?
Bill, is there some way that I can serve up listings searches in an RSS feed? Just curious. We're finding some of our younger clientele don't much care for email. An RSS feed would be an awesome way to keep them informed. At least I think so. :)
Hi Norm.
Yes, cooliris is available to listings-only clients. We have *integrated* it with our websites, but with a little manual work, you can plug it into your wordpress site as well. If you tell me what page you want to "enable" for cooliris, I will send you the HTML markup you will need to insert into your page.
As far as RSS for searches goes, you probably mean the user-created VOW saved searches (your predefined searches have RSS feeds and these are available in your Listing Options). Unfortunately, VOW saved searches currently don't have RSS feeds because they are password protected. However, this gives me an idea: I may look at creating a "hashed" URLs for these RSS feeds to work around this issue. I will keep you posted on this.
Cheers,
--Bill
