MD 23 Things: Thing 19

[your neighborhood librarian]

Zillow got an award in the Best of the Web 2.0 awards, and I have to say, Zillow is a complete guilty pleasure. Just like Google Maps, you can find and see a map or aerial imagery of 'most any neighborhood, down to the house level. Unlike Google Maps, Zillow shows you how much each house has sold or been appraised for.

That's gotta be illegal, right? Apparently not, and what a blast it is!

Oh yeah you can use it to help your cousin shop for a house, and on occasion I have used it to figure out which house on a street is likely to be the one the party's at (i.e. that half-a-million dollar manse is probably not where Chet and Lisa are having the party welcoming their new housemate), but mostly it's fun just being nosy!
