GoHome
- Posted by Berislav Lopac on February 4th, 2008 filed in Search, Target market: Europe or global
Simply put, GoHome is a vertical search engine dedicated to finding the right classified ads for real estate (especially houses and apartments). Its most compelling point is the simplicity of its interface, which consists of a simple single-field form, used to enter search queries in the natural languages or as simple phrases — e.g. “zagreb apartments 140.000 eur” or “one-room apartment in split”. The application does all the work by parsing the query and applying it to a number of local property listing sites, returning the results as a list of links — with brief summaries — to the original ads.
For the moment, GoHome is operational only for the Croatian market, but the technology behind it is in the process of being adapted for a number of other markets — a second implementation is currently being set up in Spain.
