The Real Estate Beat: Real-time Visitors Map of RealBird Services of Our Members

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealBird Inc.

In the name of transparency - and also because we are serious geeks :) - we put together a live map application that shows the visitors as they arrive to different RealBird services of our members. It is embedded below and it works in modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE9 etc.) and old ones like IE7, IE8 etc. too. Android and iOS tablets and smartphones are supported as well

We think this map analytics app is pretty cool ! What do you think?

Gotta love RealBird! Geeky and all. Not much happening in Tennessee, I've got to get on the ball!

:) Thanks Sherry ! The map shows only a subset of the actual traffic as there are limitations on how much we can add to the map. Every other seconds, it checks for the latest few visits and shows those. There might have been more in between. Having that said, statistically, it will show locations that are the most active. 

I have this map now running on an iPad on a stand next to my work computer's screen. It's fun to watch it as it happens live :)

Thanks John. And also for confirming that IE9 worked for you (it did for us too in our test). I remember seeing your service popping up on the map during the day (I stared way too much on this map today, it's kind of relaxing :)

Thanks Marc !

It's neat to see how consumers on the west cost are getting active at the morning. I looked at the map at 7 AM Pacific time and most of the traffic was from the East Coast, the icons clustered mostly there. Now it's 8:10 AM Pacific, and more and more visitor traffic is popping up from the West Coast as people are going online here

Isn't it? We just patched the code so it now works in IE 7 and IE 8 as well.

Yes, you are truly geeks, this is better than watching TV! I am going to have to have the tab open up.. yet one more tab on my browser.

Thanks.. you have just given me a new obsession... LOL.

(Can't believe I missed this post before). And best wishes to both of you for a fantastic 2012!
