Careful when testing
Last week we launched our re-written listing update code (that’s the part of the site that sends daily e-mails about new listings and price reductions/increases). While testing it we were all very paranoid about accidentally e-mailing our user base. Fortunately we were able to test it without any snaffoos but Zillow wasn’t so lucky, Zillow mistakenly sends out e-mail. Bummer for Zillow but I’m sure the extra buzz for the new feature isn’t such a bad thing.
