Rentrent.org offers better search interface on top of craigslist listings. I got motivated to build this site because I saw some limitations in Craigslist interface. I just hope that the site helps people search for the apartment they are looking for.

Why is it better than others?
.Allows user to filter by numer of bathrooms.
.Allows user to search by exact number of bedrooms.
.Allows user to search by very granular amount she is willing to pay.
.Color coded properties.
.All the information you need about a property is on a balloon.
.The map interface gives user the visual idea about where exactly each rental property is.

Currently I am seeking some feedback. Thanks in advance folks.

Nice site. Maybe allow sorting by the field categories, especially price?

Thanks,

Thanks for the critical review! I've been thinking about how I can improve on MapsKrieg, so I take all this commentary into consideration.]]>May 14th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.streeteasy.com/ before. It's pretty straightforward and used googlemaps too. They seem to pull from broker sites though and not craigslist.]]>Mar 19th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/Jul 19th 2007 10:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://freemap.iwantto.us]]>Sep 20th 2007 6:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.switched.com/2007/05/14/mapskrieg-a-craigs-google-maps-mash/http://www.cribq.com . Only a few cities, but some pretty cool stuff in addition to maps. I especially liked being able to zoom into a neighborhood and only see the listings there.]]>Dec 25th 2007 8:45AM
