ApartmentRatings.com Allows Renters to Monitor New Apartment Ratings and Reviews via RSS
Austin, TX May 4, 2005 -- Apartment Ratings (http://www.apartmentratings.com), the leading website that helps renters research and find the best apartments, today announced the availability of RSS feeds on ApartmentRatings.com. The company also announced a partnership with Pluck™ Corp, making Pluck’s RSS reader the exclusive RSS feed management software recommended for Apartment Ratings users.
Subscribing to feeds via ApartmentRatings.com is free and enables apartment hunters, renters, apartment managers, and apartment owners to monitor new apartment ratings and apartment reviews for any of the 48,000 apartment communities or 4,100 cities that appear on the website. Whenever new apartment ratings and reviews are added, any user who subscribes to the feed will automatically be alerted to the availability of new content.
The integration of feeds into ApartmentRatings.com represents the first application of RSS feeds in a major apartment hunting website. “We’ve heard from many of our users, both renters and apartment professionals, who want to stay informed about ratings and reviews of their apartment community without constantly checking our website.

“This application of RSS exemplifies how new Web technologies continue to improve users’ everyday lives. Renters and apartment professionals can use Pluck’s software to better manage the information that is most relevant to them,” said Dave Panos, co-founder and CEO of Pluck Corp.
