Street Pictures in CurbPlaces.com
When browsing real estate websites online, ever wish you could look at pictures around the neighborhood rather than at the pictures that are just of the front of the house (and carefully selected by an agent for the best angle)? Maybe look up and down the street to make sure there is a dump or a grave yard next door?
We’ve begun rolling out a solution to this at CurbPlaces.com: Street Pictures. Now, when you zoom all the way in on the CurbPlaces map, little camera icons will appear throughout the neighborhood. Clicking a camera will bring up 360 degree pictures of the area. Try it out. We’ve started with Downtown and the City and our slowly making our way across the map (as fast as our intern can ride his bike carrying a laptop, digital camera, and GPS device…)
Click here to check it out (Just zoom all the way in).
(Yes, we know Google is doing this as well. But we couldn’t wait until they got around to photograph little ol’ Charlottesville. So we went ahead and did it for them. Thank you very much.)

Hey,
Maybe y’all could throw a link to Curb Places somewhere in the post? It might make it easier for folks to get over to the site and see this nice feature.

Oldstacks: Oops. Major blogging oversite. Thanks for the heads up. I had made the picture link to CurbPlaces but forgot to add in the other links. Fixed now.
