| A large majority of my clients find Zillow to be more effective and as such, are putting their money there at the moment. But hopefully this forces Zillow to embrace Matterport. | ||

| @Gransky Yes. Hopefully, this will inspire Zillow.com to keep up with the Jones @Metroplex360 Looks like the first official use of the Matterport API? Looks like Matterport acknowledged by saying "formally" in their statement "Realtor.com® is the first company to be formally connected to Matterport's syndicated direct feed, which expedites, simplifies and streamlines the process of including 3D tours on a listing on realtor.com®."

| Today I saw this in my Facebook news feed, so it seems that Matterport has put some money telling the world about it. It is a pitty that in Argentina the local "Zillows" and "Realtors" are not as enthusiasts about Matterport. For me is like rowing in caramel (it is an Argentine phrase "remar en dulce de leche"  , because it is so hard to convince a real estate agent to adopt Matterport when they cannot show it in the usual platforms and their own website is their only option.Good for you guys! This means more business! Maybe once Trump leaves office I will consider moving there  |

| I wonder if the Matterport tour will syndicate if the WP3D plugin url is used instead of the matterport url. Let's hope so! | ||

| @JonJ I read the update to say that the syndication will flow from Matterport, with the Matterport URL. NOT our WP3D Model URL. I would imagine the individual realtors who have a realtor.com account could go in an edit the listing with the branded WP3D Model URL. "Realtor.com will use our direct syndication feed, which will automatically match a listing to a Space, using a verified address." |

| Hey guys... So, this news release notes that this change is only for their iOS app listing. I haven't seen where this affects the content displayed on Realtor.com proper. A quick test (with the Realtor.com APP) indicates that it seems they (Realtor.com) are looking for a 'matterport.com' based URL for the "Tour" in order to get the custom "View 3D Tour" icon treatment, but only inside the APP. If you like, you can elect to use WP3D Models links for the "Tour" and you'll get a treatment like this on the web and mobile websites: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/402-Rainier-Ct_Missoula_MT_59803_M86516-46172 Note that the "Tour" link is driving traffic back to the Agent's website "inhabitmissoula.com" vs a direct link to Matterport....just no custom icon/link in the APP. Here at WP3D we'll certainly be keeping a close eye on all these integrations as they come up and look for any opportunities for collaboration! |

| @dansmigrod - Glad I could help! I just happened to stumble across it while burning time scanning a property today. I figured it would be of serious interest to most of us here. | ||

| While we're on the subject, here's a link to Realtor.com's internally made video promo on the Matterprot integration supplied to Presswire by Realtor.com. They have kind of branded the Matterport technology as "their" new technology. No mention of Matterport--but hey, that's okay! Video Link Enjoy! |

| If you read the entire article it appears Zillow is hinting at their own 3D product they are developing.... | ||
