google maps: Did Google just disrupt the real estate data status quo?

Google just announced that they revamped the search capabilities on their Google Maps service and now when consumers search for homes for sale, Google maps matching real estate listings using data from their Google Base database. This is a big one. Bigger than it might look at the first glance as I will explain it below (The disruption). It is also one of the most stunning timing that I have seen since the founding of RealBird. Just a few month ago - in April 2009 - we released our first version of the private labeled RealBird Property Search service for real … (47 comments)

- 01/27/08 05:15 PM
Google Street View is one of the coolest things Google has come out with since their initial Google Maps release. As many of you already know, Google started to take photos of streets not unlike A9 and Microsoft did before. Except the way Google implemented it on Google Maps actually made it very usable, quick and interactive. It is obviously a very powerful neighborhood visualization tool and should be in every real estate agent's toolbox for online, virtual listing presentation.
