Introducing "Bing Apartment Search"! Okay, so this is not a real product. But the idea came to me this evening, and I really wish Microsoft would make something like this. The process doesn't have to be super-complex or fancy. Here's an example of what the process could be like:
- User goes to "Bing Apartment Search" and enters the area they want to move to (possibly select a radius). Or, for those that want to know the distance from their work, enter an address and have to-from travel time/distance displayed
- The user selects apartments they have/want to contact and they are added to a "notebook" that can be shared with other people via OneDrive
- Through the notebook users can view the name, address, and phone number of apartments. As well as a rating, website, email address or any other available information that is already available via Bing. (The previously mentioned travel time/distance to-from work could automatically be added to the notebook).
- As the user contacts the apartments, they are able to enter notes and "favorite" apartments, as well as note complexes that have or do not have availability
This would be a wonderful resource to have. And for those that aren't a fan of Bing, I am sure Google and Yahoo! would jump on the bandwagon as well. What do you think? Is this something you would want/use?
