Area Information and Demographics

In order to provide information in which consumers are interested, we link to some external web pages. We have done as much as possible to make sure these third-party sites don't take away from our customers' web sites. The one that we didn't have a good solution for was the Area Demographics link on the detail of a listing.

Now, I've found that Wikipedia has a pretty extensive set of information on cities and towns, and it meets the criteria of being a neutral third party without advertising that could detract. I've switched over the detail link to use Wikipedia. There are a few VERY small towns that aren't listed, but the tradeoff of no advertising seems to outweigh this. Enjoy!

Bouncing Emails, Part 2

When I wrote about email bounces before, it only included the HomeScanner Daily Updates, not the Direct Inquiry or New Registration emails. Now, we've added another process to handle those also.

It seems that, while many of our customers hadn't been taking the time to deal with Undeliverable emails, some had - it sort of threw off their own processes in response to our generated emails! So, our new process will keep you in the loop for ALL Undeliverables.
