The website I chose for the Exploring Web 2.0 tools exercise was hotpads.com. Here you can look for houses available for sale or rent, and apartments for rent.
I like the fact that when you type in a city or zip code you see a map showing the locations of available properties and for each house or apartment, the number of bedrooms, and the price asked or rent per month. When you click on an icon for a property another window opens with more information about that property.
I believe this website could be a real time saver for people who are looking for a new place to live. I also believe that the site could help people who want to sell their home a set a realistic price, as they can see what other homes in their neighborhood are listed for.
I do not believe this website has any specific applications for libraries. That said, I believe the site is worth linking to the JPL website, and I will do that soon.
