Where Can I Live? goes International

Fellow Nestorfolk!

A few months back we announced the launch of Where Can I Live?, our tool for allowing you to search for a place to live via tube stations in London. Today I’m pleased to announce that we’ve now expanded the “Where Can I Live” brand to several other major EU cities: Barcelona, Berlin, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Munich,and Rome, and we hope to add a few more in the coming months. So now you can find that new dream villa on the Med, or the rooftop flat only a few streets away from the Oktoberfest. Go crazy and let your housing imagination run wild.

Big thanks go out to “the Original Geomobster” Chris Osborne who helped us with this project. And of course the kids at CloudMade who make the cool map rendering tools that make it so easy to have nicely styled OpenStreetMap maps.

Please give the new sites a try, we think they’re a useful tool for folks moving to “the big city”. But don’t just take our word for it – we’ve had some good coverage from the old blogosphere about the new sites. Have a read over at Immobilienportale, TheSTARTUP, Loogic, and error500. And of course there’s the local langage coverage on the other Nestoria blogs: auf deutsch, en castellano or en italiano.

All of these projects fall under Lokku Labs, which is where we show of some of our experiments. We try to explore new technologies or interfaces that aren’t yet ready for Nestoria. Please have a look and let us know what you think. Hopefully we’ll have some more new things to report in the coming weeks. But if you’re into geocrafting you don’t need to wait until then, just take the old API for a spin.

As always I close by wishing you happy house hunting!
