Find Parking with Google Earth

Filed under: Articles & Blogs, Story, Website News — Anthony Eskinazi @ 11:27 am

Google Earth
Over the past few days we’ve been hard at work to allow you to view our available parking spaces in as many ways as possible. Today we added a few feed icons which are displayed on all our parking space search pages.

By clicking on the Google Earth Icon Google Earth Icon you will be able to download our parking feed which will automatically add our parking space data to your Google Earth interface.

For all of you that have not checked out the wonder that is Google Earth you can download it here. Even if it just to see your house with your car parked outside or find out who in your local area has a swimming pool in their back garden, it is a great way to kill a bit of time on your own or with a friend.

We also now provide a RSS (‘Really Simple Syndication’) feed for all search results.

You need a ‘RSS News Reader’ to get started - Google Reader is one of the most popular ones but you can do a google search to find others.

You can now subscribe to a website by clicking on the orange button representing the RSS feed (New RSS or Old RSS).

Once you have subscribed to a website feed, you can then read all the latest information right there in your news reader, without having to navigate to the site first.

Try and do a search for `parking near london` or Parking in SW1 with 24/7 Access and Underground. Then click on the orange button in the top right hand corner of the search results and you will be able to save this feed and be notified whenever new spaces become available.

In addition to all the above (yes, we’ve been working very hard!), you can now tell your friends on Facebook about ParkatmyHouse.com by sharing our search pages with your friends. Simply click on the facebook icon Facebook Icon and it will be added to your profile. It really could not be easier.

As usual, if you think we could improve our service in any way or you want to have a little moan then please contact us.

Happy parking!

Renting out a parking space online is quite a new phenomenon for most of us. Renting a property however has been around for years and one of the leaders in this field are Nestoria.

Nestoria have recently integrated all of our spaces in to their website. Do you need a flat to rent in Victoria? Well now you can also find out where you can park, be it in a commercial car park or at one of our user’s many driveways. Simply click on the Parking tab below the map, and nearby parking opportunities are displayed as pins on the map as displayed on the image below.

We see this as a great opportunity to increase the exposure of our listings making it more likely that someone needing a space will be able to find something that matches their needs and also provide Nestoria users with relevant and useful information around properties they are searching.

Essential Web 2007

Filed under: Articles & Blogs, Press Articles, Story — Anthony Eskinazi @ 2:23 pm

Essential WebOn Wednesday 27th June 2007, I had the opportunity to talk about ParkatmyHouse.com in front of representatives from Google, Yahoo, Newscorp as well as many enterpreneurs, journalists, investors and anyone else who wanted to hear about the exciting new companies within the new ‘Web 2.0′ Internet scene.

Presenting companies varied from established companies such as jaiku, WAYN and Seatwave to exciting new ideas from Huddle and WeLoveLocal.

Chaired by a humourous Doug Richards, CEO of Library House (also formerly a dragon on BBC’s Dragon’s Den), the Essential Web 2007 conference proved to be a fascinating insight in to the range of web innovation currently taking place across Europe and Israel.

Here is a picture of Anthony Eskinazi, ParkatmyHouse.com’s founding director talking to the panel about the way we aim to increase awareness of ParkatmyHouse.com both online and offline in the future to help secure our number one position in the online parking marketplace.
