Zillow Teams with Microsoft for Pictometry Imagery
c|net reports that Zillow has added Pictometry’s oblique imagery to its popular real estate website via a deal with Microsoft. The report claims that via the deal which allows use of Microsoft’s Virtual Earth platform the Zillow is the first real estate site to offer obliques. For now, they are available for select cities including San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston and Las Vegas. More are expected later in the year. Zillow is currently the fourth most popular real estate site in the U.S. per Hitwise.
What’s interesting here is that Pictometry is using Microsoft to license its imagery. Who better?
