SmartNewHomes listings now live on Nestoria

Greeting Nestoriaks!

Great news, today we've gone live with over five thousand property listings across the UK from SmartNewHomes.

This is good news for UK property searchers for a few reasons; beyond increasing our general comprehensiveness it also marks the first time we add new property developments to our database on a larger scale.

Of course with more information the challenge of keeping it all clear and easy to sift through grows, so in the coming weeks we'll be experimenting with more tools to allow you to find property as quickly and easily as possible.

More about other changes to improve relevancy, comprehensiveness, usability, and freshness in our next Nestoria Rank update, which will be coming soon.

Until then, please let us know what you think.

Nestoria powers Real Estate TV property search

Today we feature Real Estate TV, another one of our co-branded search partners. The site is the online presence of the popular digital TV channel and features a compelling mix of high quality, entertaining property programmes from the UK and around the world as well as their own unique commissioned series.

The addition of property search from Nestoria compliments the wealth of great property information on the site for UK buyers as well as those looking for a foreign property.

Here's a screenshot of the implementation:

Head on over to Real Estate TV and check it out yourself.

Are you a webmaster interested in offering your users a clean and simple property search experience? If so we've designed our free and very easy to integrate co-branded property search offering for you. Enjoy!

Nestoria and FridayCities team up

Recently a friend pointed me to yet another social networking site. My initial reaction was the same as yours: who cares? But this site, Fridaycities actually seems a bit different - it's good.

By focusing on creating compelling conversations, the gang over at Fridaycities seem to have succeeded where other sites have always let me down (there really are only so many times you can get excited by standard social network comment fare like "U ROCK!!!!!"). This site really seems to have its finger on the pulse of London.

From a usability standpoint Fridaycities have done some great things with tags, making them work in a way that feels intuitive rather than just some web2.0 checkbox they bolted on to the site to seem trendy. One great example is the integration Fridaycities launched with us, Nestoria, today.

Whenever someone tags a location (done simply by appending "place:" to the beginning of a tag) that tag can then be used to launch a search for property to buy or rent on Nestoria. Check it out this screen shot from my profile page:

and, once you click:

What we like most about this is that it's a very non-intrusive. It's just a cool little Easter egg, there if you want it, but not forced on you. It's that exact mindset and approach to their product that made it seem natural to do something with the team at Fridaycities. It's the same approach to product development that we take here at Nestoria, for example with the schools, pubs, hospitals, and all the other local data we offer on every result page: present a lot of information in a way that people can easily use it if they want, but don't force it on them.

We hope you like it as much as we do. Join the conversation over at Fridaycities. Feel free to add me to your buddy list, I'm 'EastEndEd'. Feel free to let me know what you think about this partnership, or about Nestoria in general.

PS - to any webmasters or product managers or internet entrepreneurs out there interested in enhancing your site's user experience by integrating Nestoria's property search tools please check out our tools for webmasters.

PSS - To all you rapid Nestoria feature groupies, expect some cool tag magic from us soon. You know we're not going to let Fridaycities be the only ones with the coolness.

PSSS - Nestoria fans U ROCK!! for reading this far.

Welcome Londonist Readers!

This weekend our partnership with Londonist: a website about London went live. Nestoria provides property search for Londonist. Read the detail over at Londonist.

If you don't know Londonist, it's a site well worth checking out. The site offers a unique view of the capital, often from the less serious side. If you're a loyal Londonist reader, then welcome to Nestoria. Take a look and let us know what you think, we aim to please. 

And finally, if perhaps London's not your cup of tea? Whether you're native to (properties in) Inverness or the far end of Cornwall, you too can have the same Nestoria property tools we provide to Londonist on your website. Just have a look at our tools for webmasters.
