I love the future, it seems to have happened yesterday – as soon as I write about a technological development I believe is coming, the next day I read about parts of the idea which are already there.
Recently I have been writing about using Google and a mashup of searching tools to look for property to buy, in a recent blog post on Twiku I mention an application from Trulia and today I found another ingredient from the European Space Agency which adds one more tool to make searching for a home a simple and inexpensive experience and, importantly, a lot of fun.
I am working on my community site to give a service for people thinking about changing their lives on www.PortableSoup.com – being able to find a new home is probably the most important single decision and I hope that I will soon offer a search, find, identify and contact service using these new techniques.
