Point2 creates Facebook real estate app

It seems like "Facebook" has appeared in just about every blog I've read over the last few weeks. The site is clearly blowing up, and we've been using it to try to connect people who are attending Real Estate Connect in San Francisco in a few weeks. (Connect group is at this link.)
Another real estate application has been created for Facebook junkies -- this time from Point2. The company says it's aiming to help users organize their Facebook networks around neighborhoods and cities, while streaming property listings into these neighborhood applications.
Though Point2 hasn't officially announced it yet, the application has more than 450 users, according to Brendan King, Point2's COO.
At the neighborhood level, so far there's nothing there but tumbleweeds for my 'hood. But for all of San Francisco, I was able to browse listings streaming in from Point2.
The company has a discussion thread going on Facebook for feedback.

Thanks for posting Jessica. Our facebook “application” has only been around for two days and has not yet been in the directory for 24 hours. If Facebook is anything it is “viral”. At time of this posting we already have 472 users and climbing. This current version is a streams for sale NLS listings to the neighborhood and allows for people to add neighborhood descriptions and “write on the neighborhood wall”. We are also seeing demand from outside North America so we quickly added the UK and Australia. We hope to add the other 81 “P2NLS countries” soon. We will also be adding the ability for users to post pictures of their neighborhood and browse old neighborhoods etc.
