Nestoria UK 2009 – The year in review

Fellow Nestoris

As we noted last week 2009 was turbulent year for the property industry. So this year, the year we celebrated out third birthday, it’s perhaps particularly important to reflect on the progress made over the year.

We kicked off the year by partnering with AOL, and from there we went to work with NWN Media, Zoopla!, INEA, Gumtree, PropertyPal, Country Life, CityLets and PropertyNews. Our thanks go out to all of our new partners from 2009 (and even more thanks to those who believed in us earlier).

We attended, sponsored and spoke at many great events. We also took some time out from helping others find new homes to actually moving to a new home ourselves (come visit!).

In terms of our actual website, 2009 wasn’t a year of great change. Of course we’re continually testing and fine tuning and considering new approaches. For example we launched our “Where can you live service”. On the whole though, incremental tweaks are the nitty gritty reality of life at a search engine. It’s a game of small but continual improvements in relevancy. Nevertheless, we hope to have some more obviously visible changes in the coming days. Meanwhile we did of course keep on rolling out improvements to our API.

So there we have it. That was 2009 for us here in the UK. I’ll do a post about 2009 in other markets in the near future.

In closing let me once again thank all of the Nestoria team members and of course you, our users, for a great 2009! We’re looking forward to an even better 2010.
