It Isn’t Ready….Yet
Once of the big changes in the next release is the amount of real estate oriented data that we’ll provide to your buyers as part of using the Vidlisting platform. We’re loading huge amounts of data and while we tested with a small subset of the data, some of the rest turned out to be in non-standard formats that our import tools simply don’t like. This means changing our import tools to accommodate the unexpected formats. Why? Part of what you’ll see in the next version of Vidlisting includes you being able to upload various types of your own data. We want your experience uploading various data to be as seamless and error-free as possible. The changes have taken more time than expected.
We are also planning to be at the NAR Convention this year as well as launching various paid levels and services (in adition to free services) with this release that you’ll be able to demo for some time before deciding to buy. This means that we’ll be seeing many of you face-to-face again. Because of those factors, we want to make doubly sure that every piece of functionality works as it should for every level of customers. While we *really* want to release as we are now, we’d prefer to be sure of four things:
1) that we have the “wow” in terms of the functionality unavailable elsewhere
2) that we have the data coverage that is needed for our customers in various parts of the world
3) that we have the tools to easily make continued improvements to the platform without a lot of rework that may cause future errors
4) that we have the quality and performance that you expect from a world class online service
We are close but not there yet. We’ll let you know when it’s done.
