I’m Demo-ing a New Trulia Widget

Trulia_real_estate_search_reno_spar

I just wanted to see what this new Median Price widget from Trulia looked like inside the blog. The data contained herein comes from Trulia and is supposed to be updated weekly. It’s my understanding that the widget may not work in all browsers, so if you’re not seeing a Median Price and Inventory graph for Reno Sparks, let me know.  Also, if you guys like it, perhaps we can move it to the margin area with the other widgets.  Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    Works well! Foreclosure stats might be interesting ?

    DaveInLosGatos,
    Can you tell me what browser and OS you’re using? Thanks.

    Just a side note on that, this widget requires Flash, and probably one of the more recent Player versions like 8 or 9, so make sure you flash plug in is updated in your browser as well.

    I see the graph, looks good! I think you might want a ‘Mood-graph’ too to report the current mood of commenters before any future guest posters get slain.

    Mike, Thanks for the tech tip. Regarding the “Mood-graph”, I’m LOL. Funny you should mention such a widget. Diane has been thinking of a sort of similar widget. I don’t want to spoil any surprises, so you’ll just have to wait on its introduction.

    Hi all-
    Yes, the widget does require Flash 8 or higher. Some users have encountered issues when attempting to install the widget on blogs in the wordpress.com domain. WP does not allow Flash to be to be embedded on their site.

    Please email us at Trulia if you encounter any issues with installing or testing the widget on your site.
