While they aren't a real estate brokerage, they are a Realogy owned network and it wouldn't be far fetched to see this technology tested and improved before transferring to one of their brokerages (C21, CB, ERA). Back to JLSconnect, what's really being missed in this discussion is the improvement of the Property Tracker system. The initial offering of tools with Silverlight integration is a step-up and the ability to communicate immediately with your agent regarding a transaction and view their status (online vs. off), is paramount in satisfying the client's interest for immediate communication. While I agree that Windows Live Messenger isn't the current trend in social networking, it has the potential for a longer shelf-life if Microsoft can continue to integraete WLM with companies across other industries, enhancing the value of having a Live Messenger account. @Jason Sandquist: Currently, the only RE company that’s actively pursuing FB integration with FB Connect is FrontDoor.com (http://twurl.nl/k3d3by).

I think that there will be some really interesting and easy to use options that are more open that will come out in the future. I am actually pretty excited to see what the next step will bring.

From what I understood at the launch preview, they essentially dissed FB and Twitter while exclaiming the virtues of Windows Live and its 500M user base. I also asked if they did usability with normal folk (meaning non-JLS, MSFT, or RE) and haven't gotten a reply. I think the concept is great but the implementation is faulty, particularly with LiveID.

How cool would it be to Tweet or put on Facebook the home you are interested in for your friends to comment on or drool over. I think this idea has legs and would add tremendously to an agents branding tools. I have not seen Facebook integration yet into an IDX feed or agents listings, but it makes perfect sense.

Seems like they botched this one. BTW do you or have you seen any other small or large brokers integrate Facebook Connect into a site? I don’t know many that use Windows Live Messenger.
