My company, W&R Studios, is starting a new Facebook video campaign highlighting Cloud CMA. We have about 12 to 15 different videos that talk about the “Best Ways To Use MLS Printouts”. It’s a bit tongue in cheek (duh!). I hope you like, and stay tuned for more.
Like the Cloud CMA Facebook Page so you won’t miss the rest!
My thanks to Zillow Group for sponsoring Vendor Alley in support of their upcoming “zip.code” hackathon event.
The event is November 6-8 in San Francisco at the Trulia offices. They are giving away $25,000 in prize money. The event will focus on developers creating products using MLS listing data and using Zillow’s new Public Data API. For the MLS listing data they have received written permission from the respective MLS provider.
I think these type of “hackathon” events are great crucibles for spurring on ideas and innovation. I’m hoping they get a great turnout. They have room for 300 participants.
At the end entrants will need to give a live 3 min demonstration of their product. Note to Zillow please, please, please, live stream the demos!!

NorthstarMLS announced a data share solution powered by RPR, dubbed “RPR View™“.
“RPR View™, consolidated into RPR, is already available to you through your NorthstarMLS subscription. You may now access listings in RPR (including offers of compensation) from these Minnesota State MLS’s:
Duluth Area Association of Realtors
Greater Alexandria Area Association of Realtors
Lake Region Association of Realtors (Fergus Falls)
Northwest Minnesota Association of Realtors (Bemidji)
Realtor Association of Southern MN (Mankato)
Southeast Minnesota Association of Realtors (Rochester/Winona)
West Central Association of Realtors (Willmar)
A couple things:
1. I guess this could count as part of the “alternative front end” trend we are seeing.
2. A clever way to using RPR data, and a proof of concept for its backend services (which is what they are pushing for with AMP)
