I dont assume that the scaping/indexing issue is any less a hot issue this week. NAR has even more reason to prevent the indexing of IDX listings now that RPR will have HouseLogic.

Bob, I agree, RPR will be the hot topic no doubt (keeps coming up in my conversations) but it will no doubt influence the pending scraping discussion as well

Bob, HouseLogic does not publish any listing information. Nor does it use RPR data. RPR data is a resource for REALTORS and not meant to be published on the public web. So the new IDX “Google” rule changes actually have little to do with either product.

Todd, are you saying that NAR/RPR does not intend to provide any public facing listing data?
Todd Carpenter
November 11, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Bob, yes. The data available to REALTORS® on RPR’s web site will sit behind a firewall. They’ll have access to this data, but won’t be able to display the listing information on their websites. It was covered in the webinar. Your MLS will continue to provide listing information that can re-purposed through IDX solutions.

I have to agree with Bob. Why do it if we can get the info now?
What’s the point?
