Thing #19 - Awards

For this assignment, I selected the category of real estate, and the site called hotpads.com, since I am currently looking for a place to live. Hotpads.com was very cool graphically. It is map-based, and you can zoom in on a location. The graphics are very cute--cartoon-like buildings representing available rentals or homes for sale. You can zoom in on a particular listing, and it links you to the relevant information on that property. It's very similar to other sites out there, but the attractiveness of the site was the draw here.
