Looking for hyperlocal content?
From Future of Real Estate Marketing
By Joel Burslem, Friday, June 26, 2009.Outside.in has you covered.
They have just launched a new product called Outside.in for Publishers -- what they're calling "an out-of-the-box hyperlocal news section for your website."
Features include:
- Customized Neighborhood News Pages for every neighborhood in your market.
- Rich, interactive maps, headlines, and excerpts.
- Access to aggregated stories from all local blogs, news sites, and other sources -- including Twitter!
- Tools to curate the stories, sources and tags that will appear on your site.
The product is free, but does come embedded ads from Outside.in. There is an ad-free version that can be licensed, however.
I think this would be a great product to integrate with any online real estate research tool -- a way to quickly mash up listings and neighborhoods with a real-time view of the events happening around you.
Combine this with the ratings from Walk Score, a proximity search filter like Estately's, market data widgets from Altos Research, and, of course, listings drawn hopefully from the MLS, and you start to have a very compelling tool for consumers to dive in to.

Having local content will need to be an essential part of any website in the future. I understand Google algorithms with be putting a lot of emphasis on local content soon.
