Metrolist MLS Denver drops Diverse Solutions IDX Feed

The MLS provider for the Metro Denver area REALTORS® has decided to discontinue its relationship with Diverse Solutions since they sold to Zillow last November.

All Denver Diverse Solutions customers will have until April 2nd, 2012 to find a new IDX provider.

Read more about this at Inman News.

There has been much controversy about this situation, some supporting the move by Metrolist, saying that they are fearful of the way that Zillow may use the information from the MLS feed.  Others are upset in the fact that it takes alot of time to set up and IDX they way you want it to be on your website, and it takes away from the time spent with buyers and sellers.

Either side you are on, it is understandable.  Agents and Brokers must protect themselves and their businesses.

Internet Media is a local Denver web design firm that specializes in real estate web technology.  If you need some help getting back online with a robust IDX solution, we can help.

Realtor Rally Was a Success in Denver

Thank you to all the Realtors and affiliated companies that came out to the Realtor Rally 2012 at the Denver Convention Center on February 22. We had so much fun at our booth, playing XBox Kinect, and talking with so many great people.

As the premier real estate web design firm in Denver, we were proud to be the Website Sponsor of the Realtor Rally, for two years now. It is an honor to be a part of this fabulous annual trade show.

And the education is phenominal. Some great speakers presented this year, like Larry Kendall and Oliver Fransconi, but the main event was the Keynote Speaker, Jairek Robbins. He was amazing. He not only told some great stories about his struggles and successes, but he showed the attendees how to make the most of their lives and businesses by taking some very simple steps and applying them to everything they do.

I can’t wait for next years Realtor Rally. We’ll see you there.

How To: Not Get “Unfriended” on National Unfriend Day

By @ErinAshleeRose

True, “Unfriend” was the New Oxford American Dictionary word of the year in 2009 – and this year, (thanks to www.Facebook.com/JimmyKimmelLive) on November 17th, it even has it’s own National Holiday.

 

So how do you avoid the depression, misery and sorrow that accompanies the act of realizing that you have been “unfriended”?

 

1. Don’t Throw Sheep! We would like to thank the Facebook and Mobile App industry for their contribution in millions of dollars to the economy, but it is quite clear… NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR FARM! Furthermore, in a time of economic unrest, there isn’t a lot of admiration going around for the friends on your list who are “too broke” to join you at a nice restaurant on Friday night, but somehow have all the time in the world to harvest their Farmville crops.

 

2. Please don’t post your children as your profile picture. No we don’t recognize them, yes they are probably beautiful children, but it makes us uncomfortable to wonder if we have somehow “friended” a 10 year old boy… enough said. Yes I went there. Don’t do it. [Read more...]
