Real Shout is really exciting for a few different reasons. To me the primary draw is the fact that it's a plugin for Wordpress that creates an seo friendly property search ability for your wordpress blog. Two, it's FREE and works outside of your MLS, using Google base as the listing data source - which is just cool! Three, it looks good and was pretty straight forward in setting up. In a fairly short amount of time I was able to install it and modiy a few lines of code to dial in the SEO settings so title tags update dynamically for each listing detail view. I'm not an expert in the full extent of this plugins abilities but it appears as though you could create custom searches by city or perhaps community, price point, property type and so on to create effective "quick links" to dial in the system to the areas you service. I view this ability as a necessity to any decent IDX system, let a lone a free open source system that bypasses the stranglehold of an MLS.

Additionally, they include links to schools, and other local attractions as well. Real Shout also say's that a new version is in development and once that launches they will begin work on a version for the Joomla! open source cms as well.

I say, keep up the great work so far and really looking forward to the next version.

Current Real Shout users, please share your experience / success with the system thus far...
