Intel Set to Release Mashup Tool

Intel is joining the world of mashup development. Mashmaker is the moniker that will be assigned to their new product. It's a web based platform that allows you to build a mashup from the pages you surf on the web. Silicon Valley Sleuth has a video demonstration of the product that combines real estate rental listings with restaurant information. Very intriguing indeed. It will be interesting to see how this is used in the RE.Net to create content. Combining several RSS sources along with listing data could be a great way for RE bloggers to present content without the need to understand complex API development. For those who really want the details, here's a link to a PDF document outlining MashMaker.

06.29.07 - iPhone Arrives - New Ads Online

The iPhone arrives on the 29th. Apple has also released 3 new iPhone ads ( 1, 2, 3, ) on their web site. Very well done indeed. Apple continues to set the bar high for tech advertising. Intel, Dell and most of the companies in this space really need to take a cue from Cupertino. Simple, to the point and the product does the selling.

I'm really hoping for the sake of my Realtor® friends that the lock box manufacturers will quickly add this phone to their list of devices for property access, there's no reason for them not to. Even without the lockbox access, the iPhone is poised to become the ultimate Realtor® communication device. Oh, and did I mention it shows W I D E Screen Video Podcasts? :) Can't wait to get my hands one one.
