We finally had time to come back and do more work on our local pages...
We always intended for these pages to become a central point for local market reports and links about the community. Best of all, they are geolocated by latitude and longitude, so you don't even have to type in the exact city name or know a zip code to find the information.
You can search for your own city or area using the below interface: (it may take a second or two..there's a lot of places represented)
- a large number of cities have a local description (included in the RSS feed). Some don't - we'll be working to remedy that in coming development cycles.
- We've highlighted local market reports at the top of the page (included in the RSS feed)
- If you have members of the Vidlisting social network in the area, you can see their profile information on this page (to be included in the RSS feed next week). Their information will also soon be optimized for searches in other languages as well.
Examples with members: (or if there is a bug for some reason in the search tool)

- We'll include links to locals blogs and local pages listing sites
The basic RSS feeds are live now...we'll be expanding them over the coming days
Feel free to leave us feedback especially if you see things on the page that we need to clean up (we've cant look at every page every day). We have lot planned for these pages and every week keep tightening the integration among the various elements of our content platform. Thanks for joining us for the start of the ride,
Tony
