myhood.ca – Apartment Shopping in Toronto

myhood.ca - Apartments in Toronto Canada

Seeing as how the b5media HQ is in Toronto, it’s about time we featured a website for Toronto folks don’t you think? The myhood.ca website is an online resource for people fighting through the apartment housing market in one of Canada’s most beautiful cities, Toronto! Might also come in handy for b5media anyway with the way we’re growing our corporate support team in the area. I’m sure somebody will be looking for apartments soon.

Jeff let me know about the site and had this quick synopsis to let me know what it was all about:

That’s where myhood.ca comes in. We give our viewers the ability to search by neighbourhood (Toronto is the city of neighbourhoods – you should be able to search by them), combine rental listings from online classifieds with property managers (think “one stop shop”) and match them with the very useful apartment reviews (over 800) written by current and past tenants – all on an interactive Google map.

The site let’s you quickly search for an apartment of your own, or even find other people that are looking for roommates in your area as well. This is really the sort of thing that would be perfect in many places in addition to Toronto. I’d say this kind of service would be huge in college towns, I know Craig’s List is popular for that as well.

The user interface on the site is really smooth too. As Jeff said, everything is laid out on an easy to use and navigate Google map. Very nice. You’ve also got some of the defacto types of information on the site as well like reviews and tips for moving and finding the right place for your situation.

If you’re in the area and in need of finding a great apartment and/or roommate, Uncover the Internet has done the first big step for you. We’ve pointed you in the right direction for success.

Okay, have to mention this, was just browsing through the site and one of the apartment buildings that came up had the street address of “666 Spadina Avenue”. Um, yeah, not going to live there.

A Little Monday Afternoon Energizing

Yep, it’s Monday and the work day is over but I’m still working on a variety of tasks for clients. A friend of mine sent me the link to this YouTube video in an e-mail and it couldn’t have come at a better time. This is just one of those moments and songs that just get you fired up and ready to go again.

That’s just a fraction of what the Internet is all about. What you need, when you need it right?

2GB RAM Upgrade

I just popped two 1GB RAM chips into my laptop. I’m already seeing some much anticipated pep-in-the-step of my little Toshiba Satellite laptop. I upgraded hoping to get some extra boost when I’m working on things in Visual Web Developer. It seems to be working.

Now, back to work.
