Localism, Have not heard much lately on the topic? Anything new?

By
Real Estate Agent with Gardner Realtors, Licensed in La.

Just wonder if Localism is still in the Beta stage or is something new happened lately. I post over half my blogs to the local market so was just wondering if anything new is on the horizon. The features pop up quickly which is why I post there. I have been getting some reponses so I know its working. Anything new? Are we still on track?

I'm waiting.  Since the guys were off at Inman Connect this past week I'm sure it was a topic discussed over beer.

Eric,

Seems like Localism is unchanged to me...

I'm curious about the next direction for it.

I'm still frustrated with Localism. I don't understand why the most "current" posts are from the middle part of last year????

QAl, I have not noticed that. I do not know if it would work but go back and do some editing. Just an idea out of left field.

Kay, this is one of my favorite street cars. All the red ones like this flooded during Katrina and all have to be rebuilt. Its not easy to get parts for these cars. A lot of people ride them here.

Eric - Localism is alive, that's for sure.  My clients love it.  I don't think it's like 4.0 :P~

Seems like the moderator has given up on this forum.  Probably tired off all the off topic posts despite his attempt to make it clear that this forum is for discussing Localism, not for posting local info aimed at consumers.  AR needs to do something about groups that are neglected in this fashion.  As for Localism posts being displayed out of order, I posted on that issue last week in this very forum and was told the system was changed from chronological order to something else due to abuse.  Looking around this forum, I can imagine some of that abuse was accidental, though that doesn't really excuse failure to pay attention.
