CoreLogic Trestle Web API Earns RESO Platinum Certification

CoreLogic shared some good news today. Their Trestle data distribution solution that provides MLSs with RESO compliant web API transmission capabilities was upgraded to Platinum-level certification. I am sure that they will be spreading the good news to their customers at the Council of MLS meetings that start in Orlando, FL tomorrow. Some MLSs who were on the fence about signing up for Trestle cited Platinum-level Web API as their demand. Now CoreLogic can hook them up with the highest standard.

Disruptors Are Really Only Innovators and Motivators

If you have not seen the 2007 film, A Hero Ain’t Nothing But a Sandwich, don’t bother. It’s a pretty depressing story about a young boy who gets hooked on heroin. But I love the title. It takes a word like Hero, with its multiple meanings and twists it into something profound. One of most important impressions that I got from the RISMedia CEO Summit last week is that the meaning of Disruptors can be twisted around too.

The Emergence of Dark Social

I was starting to hit my stride helping companies integrate social media into their Public Relations programs when I was mugged by Dark Social. If you are not familiar with the term Dark Social, I wasn’t either, until recently. At first, I thought Dark Social was somehow related to the Dark Web. Fortunately, I was wrong.

If you have not seen the post, you may want to buzz over and look at A Conversation About Fair Input Guidelines before contemplating this article.

5 Reasons Why MLSs Should Dump Listing Syndication as a Service

There is little doubt about the value that an MLS provides to brokers though the IDX and VOW services it offers.
