RealtyMX Enters the Mobile App World With Taap.it Mobile Marketplace

2011-09-16

NEW YORK, NY, September 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Taap.it Mobile Marketplace solidifies itself as the go-to app for real estate in NYC through a strategic partnership with RealtyMX, the complete marketing management system for real estate brokers and agents looking to successfully grow their online marketing efforts. The partnership provides a tool for RealtyMX and its clients to saturate the rapidly growing mobile commerce market. "RealtyMX identified mCommerce as a growing force in the real estate industry and we can provide the platform they need to leverage that space. It is growing at an exponential rate." said Duy Huynh, CEO and Co-founder of Taap.it.

"This is a landmark occasion for us and RealtyMX," said Duy Huynh. "Consumers are using their mobile phones more often to shop. Now they will be able to use our location based app to find a new home wherever they are. How great and simple is that."

"Mobile commerce showed 86 percent year-over-year growth, the biggest jump out of the seven monetization tactics that survey respondents were asked about..." according to a study by Mobile Commerce Daily.

"Mobile commerce is easily outpacing other retail channels as the fastest-growing and with only one way to go: up." said David Sikora, Founder and CEO of Digby.

RealtyMX will supply Taap.it with a daily data feed that will include thousands of hot, new and must-see apartment and housing listings around the New York City area. Listings will come from major real estate agencies in NYC such as Bond New York and Caliber NYC. However, each broker is able to create a unique short URL that will host all of their personal listings. For example, Kianna Choi from Bond New York is able to direct customers to all her listings right from their iPhone, Android, or the they can view on the web via Kianna's short ULR Taap.it/KC. Not only that, they also see how far they are from each of Kianna's apartment.

"Our goal is to bring about 100 real estate agencies on board with Taap.it. This means our mobile app users in many cases will be able to pinpoint available apartments on the very street their standing on." said Duy. "On the other than, Taap.it is constantly promoting broker's mobile websites/short URLs through the use of Twitter and Facebook."

The app's geo-tagging function offers a unique way of finding a new apartment. The function allows brokers to move the pin-point away from the exact address to a cross street allowing apartment hunters to search based on their location without losing their brokers fee through back door deals with landlords. Taap.it also allows users to search by type, rent or buy, by price, and by size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

"Let's say I'm in East Village having lunch and I want to look for an apartment there," said Duy. "I can open up Taap.it, click on housing and find all the apartments listed from 0.1 mile to 2 miles from where I'm having lunch,"

The idea for Taap.it comes from the need to have a fast, simple, and instant way for local businesses to reach out to their local customers, which has not been fully addressed in the market. Right now when local businesses want to sell goods or services, they have to go through either the local newspaper (which is costly and slow) or an e-commerce site like eBay or Craigslist (which is a hassle because you need your computer to post).

"Basically, within 15 seconds, you will be able to list the item you want to sell, which solves a pain point in the selling and sharing of services and goods to people just down the street," said Rip Empson, Editor at TechCrunch.

Taap.it Mobile Marketplace is located in Midtown Manhattan with more than 20 employees and continues to grow fast. It was founded by a group of friends, including Duy Huynh, Ha Tran, Tien Nguyen, and Bao Huynh. Taap.it launched its beta version at TechCrunch Disrupt late May 2011, and officially launched early July 2011. The total value of posted listings has already exceeded 50 million dollars since its launch.

Genomic catastrophe causes developmental delay, cognitive disorders

2011-09-16

HOUSTON -- (Sept. 16, 2011) – Using a diversity of DNA sequencing and human genome analytic techniques, researchers led by Baylor College of Medicine have identified some cases of developmental delay or cognitive disorders associated with a sudden chromosomal catastrophe that occurred early in development, perhaps during cell division when DNA is replicated. In a report in the journal Cell, Dr. Weimin Bi, assistant professor of molecular and human genetics, Dr. James R.Lupski, vice chair of molecular and human genetics, both at BCM, first author Pengfei Liu, a graduate ...

Mom, dad and kids undergo novel genome analyses for medical risks in new Stanford study

2011-09-16

STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have predicted the inherited health risks of a four-person family by analyzing their whole genome sequences. With the DNA sequences of both parents and children, the team was able to better check for sequencing errors and more accurately predict how individual genetic variants affect each family member's risk for disease. The project improved computational tools that provide medical interpretation of genomes, which includes disease-risk prediction and how an individual would respond to common medications. ...

AsiaRooms.com - Witness Natural Wonder of Naga Fireballs in Thailand

2011-09-16

The Nong Khai region of Thailand will see the occurrence of a mysterious phenomenon known as the Naga Fireballs next month. Expected to take place between October 11th and 12th this year, the unusual natural event sees a series of ruby-coloured orbs of light emerging from the Mekong River, floating silently into the air before disappearing into the night sky. Usually occurring between 18:00 and 21:00 local time, as many as 19 fireballs at a time can linger in the air for up to eight seconds, with almost 3,500 globes having been counted in 1999. Debate rages ...

Alcohol metabolism causes DNA damage and triggers a breast cancer-related DNA damage response

2011-09-16

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Alcohol metabolism causes DNA damage and triggers a breast cancer-related DNA damage response Alcohol is known to be carcinogenic to humans in the upper aerodigestive tract, liver, colorectum, and the female breast. Evidence suggests that acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of alcohol, plays a major role in alcohol-related esophageal cancer. A new study using human cells has established linkages between alcohol metabolism and acetaldehyde-DNA damage that may have implications for breast and liver cancers. Results will ...

Damaged gait and balance can recover with long-term abstinence from alcohol

2011-09-16

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Damaged gait and balance can recover with long-term abstinence from alcohol Chronic alcoholism is often associated with a disturbed gait and balance, likely caused by alcohol damage to neural systems. While some studies have suggested that abstinence can lead to partial recovery of gait and balance functions, questions remain about duration of abstinence and sample size. This study of both short- and long-term abstinence has found that alcoholics' gait and balance can continue to recover with long-term abstinence from alcohol ...

Heavy drinkers may die needlessly in house fires

2011-09-16

PISCATAWAY, NJ – People who drink heavily may increase their risk of dying in house fires that should otherwise have been escapable, a new study suggests. The findings, reported in the September issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, highlight one of the less-recognized dangers of downing too much alcohol -- especially in combination with smoking. Looking at coroners' records for 95 fire victims, Australian researchers found that 58% had positive results on blood alcohol tests, often with very high alcohol levels. And those intoxicated victims ...
