This is the kind of applied technology that actually makes sense for real estate professionals. What a huge opportunity for exceptional local content. If you’ve got the chops to create an arsenal of great IP, (blog content,great marketing copy,listing presentations,video,photos) – implementing an augmented reality strategy could be exactly what it takes to succeed with a web strategy. It will be interesting to see this evolve.

Bing’s Photosynch, augmented reality and integration of Flickr geo-tagged photos are all very exciting to the Real Estate professional. This is very exciting stuff and you are right, it will be interesting to watch it evolve! I, for one, can’t wait.

I normally avoid Microsoft ANYTHING like the plague, this made me actually reconsider. Maybe they are now getting in the game seriously. We’ll see.

I’m a PC and never avoid Microsoft. Apple is the one shooting blanks at the moment with an iPad that can’t read Flash and doesn’t have a USB input or a camera.
Bing is really where the “Soft” is making massive strides, in addition to their new mapping integration, have you ever used their flight comparison? Beats Google with a stick.

Very interesting again. I am very impressed with all of Bing’s mapping tools and apps and I never thought I’d say that about MS 😉

ZipRealty just released an amazing new feature (plus improved old features) on our Real Estate iPhone app called HomeScan. Basically, you can look through your phone and instantly see which homes are for sale (and recently sold) in your immediate vicinity, and get home detail info including price, photos and more.
There’s nothing else like it on the market, and best of all, you can download it for free!

It just proves that with hard work, a little luck, and billions of dollars in cash, you can start to compete with Google. haha Very cool stuff from Microsoft!

Wow! what a tool for the Realtor(R) that grabs onto technology. Haven’t played with this yet, but will …. in fact, suggest that I can’t afford not to if I am to offer clients the best available.
Thanks for the post and would love to see others latch on to other new technology and present as well.

Very cool! I can see this being used for virtual open houses or live blogging about local events. The news sites could benefit from this a great deal too. Imagine reporting about breaking news and being able to have this type of map with video displayed directly on your news site.
