Leveraging the power of Facebook, LivePads assists users in the buying and selling of homes. As a
homebuyer, a Facebook user can add the LivePads Facebook application to their profile. Once added, the
homebuyer will enter his or her house criteria and the powerful search engine will crawl all real estate
sites for houses that match the search criteria. When buyers find houses they like, they can save the
houses to their profiles. This powerful feature allows users to file houses so they can quickly access them
in the future, share their saved houses with their realtors and request more information, and also share
their saved houses with their networks of friends.
The second piece of the application is geared toward home sellers and realtors. As realtors, users can add
their current real estate inventories to their Facebook profiles. Realtors have the ability to send houses to
their clients via the Facebook network. Also, as new houses are added, your entire friend network on Facebook is notified of the new listing via the Facebook news service. As home sellers, users can list their homes for sale on their profiles. Users then have the option to send their houses for sale to users in their friend lists. Once another user receives the request, they also have the option to display the home for sale along with details, with another option to share with their friend list. This adds more marketing and sales opportunities for the home seller by having their home being displayed on multiple Facebook profiles. Finally, if a user notices one of their friends has a house for sale and knows of another friend that is looking for a house, the user will have the ability to send the house to another user's Facebook profile.

I posted this same comment on Cribfinder's blog. Since I like both of you <s>, I'll post it here too
My only problem ........... Finding enough hours in the day to get all our listings uploaded/updated in LivePads by hand ....
Here's an off-the-wall idea: Could you hook up a feed to something like VFlyer or Postlets? The VFlyer guys are regulars here on AR http://activerain.com/vflyer -- Maybe they'd be game!
