It depends on the rental market. Here in Pittsburgh, more landlords in the city are bad because it's such a heavy student population. What's the incentive to be good or to update apartment features? Every apartment gets rented out anyways.
About 1/3 of our city's population is students as well.
I have heard nightmare stories about 'Turn' taking weeks to complete because of the high turnover rates in our city.. As well as managers being at whits end 1/2 the time because of workload. We really tried to develop our software to ease these tensions. In some of the companies we have studied, we were able to reduce the workload of the company and reduce the stress.
And in doing so, hopefully we make a happier rental env for everyone :)
This is an API, not an application. In other words, if you want the end-user to get an SMS reply, you have to write code and instruct the API to send a message.
Mobivity gives you simple marketing tools (voting, pre-defined messages to reply with, etc.).
Actually, no, Mobivity give you an API to send and receive SMS messages, and they do it in pretty much the same way this site does. I know this because I've used them to do exactly that. I know it does the the marketing as well but it has a fully fledged SMS api too.
im not sure id use this but email is something that hasn't been innovated on in a WHILE. im glad someone is doing something about it. great job, keep working on it.
It's about making a point in efficiency and releasing, not launching, right. To get a useable prototype up to a level of completion where you can start to get user feedback doesn't take months, or even weeks if you're focused enough. The 77 hours works for the product, as my expectation aren't set as high compared to if he said "...in 3 months". It didn't take a lot of time or money, and he now has user feedback to shape the next iteration, or even decide the project isn't worth pursuing further.
dimitry - thanks for your feedback! I didn't mean the 77 hours as "look at how much of a rockstar I am", but "keep your expecations low": reBoxed doesn't have a fancy website, a product video, etc., simply because I didn't have enough time for those things.
I know it's not going to happen, but I say if IE updates break existing enterprise web sites because they are more standards-compliant, then go for it. Any place that's holding on to IE6 because they're afraid to break IE-only web sites probably isn't going to update anyway.
The timesheet and employee self-services system where I work are IE-only for no good reason. The timesheet site is a Java applet, and the employee self-services system uses XML and Javascript to render content. There's nothing I've seen on either system that cannot be done using simple web standards. I guess people who use Macs here (and there are a number of them) have to have access to a PC to get paid.
As long as we allow enterprises not to be standards-compliant through and through, we, as web developers, will continue to have IE-related headaches.
