What have we been up to?

I’d like to thank everyone who has given us such excellent feedback over the nearly two weeks since we launched. We thought you’d be pretty busy with Christmas and whatnot, so we saved the good post-launch news until life slowed down a little.

So what’s new? In the time since we launched, we’ve been covered all over the web, including such places as:

The Robot Coop
Sellsius Blog
3 Oceans Blog
Bloodhound Blog
Entering Startup
Seattle PI and their real estate blog (wow!)
and The Future of Real Estate Marketing

Just because we launched doesn’t mean that we’re done. We’re rolling out features and tweaking the site like crazy right now. What’s happened since we launched? We’ve already forgotten a bunch of the tweaks and changes, but here are a few:

• Better photo information: if we’re expecting an image, we let you know and if there aren’t any, we let you know about that too. (Thanks for pointing this out Ardell!)
• Bigger images in the bubbles: the old images were just too small (thanks anonymous!)
• Save Shacks more easily – there’s a star in the upper right hand corner of the photo. Click it to save, click it again to unsave (thanks for asking us to make it clearer, anonymous!). You can review all your saved properties under the My ShackPrices tab.

Our favorite note from a user so far is:

What I like about your website is that it is straight forward while having many features; this makes it easy for me to move around the site to find my shacks.

Wow! Such praise AND the volunteered use of the word shack.

Is there something missing in your shack search? Send us your questions, comments or insights in the comments or via our feedback form.

PS: While the tweaks make looking for shacks an even better experience, you, dear user, should look forward to some bigger experience-improving features in the coming few weeks. Stay tuned…
