I am not sure if there is a website like this but I would like one that markets for you. Say if you were in real estate or to sell my jewelry. Something that initiates clients on it's own and generates business. That would save a ton of time and money.
My responses from other students were positive and they thought this was a great idea!!

Creating Interactive Web Pages
In this weeks lesson I enjoyed creating an interactive web page. I think it's pretty cool how you can create a page that changes time each time you log in. Also, thought it was great to be able to say hello with a particular name included. Using Javascript helps to create and modify html and I found this technology interesting as well.

Sea Glass Festival, Hyannis, MA
So everyone knows I love to write about sea glass. I just got back from an annual sea glass festival in Hyannis, MA, and I believe there were approx. 6,000 visitors. It was very successful and I got to meet a lot of people. I was on my feet for 12 hrs a day and exhausted by the end of the night. It was also fun to get to meet other artisans and see how talented they were. One women bought 5 pendants off of me for women in her family. Most bought for Christmas gifts so that makes me feel good that many people will be opening up something I made for Christmas and it will make them smile ;0)
JotForm, Ratings and Feedback
I am really loving this class. I especially love creating my own webpage almost to the point that I wish I was taking a different major. I think Graphic Design looks like fun but I was always interested in law too. So I think I will minor in computers. Hopefully, I can handle that type of class especially an online class.
I really liked creating a JotForm as well and think it's pretty cool to be able to rate someones site and leave feedback. It was interesting how everyone arranged their websites differently. All in all, I think creating a webpage and uploading it to a server is pretty neat!

Web Applications
I find Zillow.com very interesting because when I was a real estate agent, I would visit it quite frequentlyfor information . They use to provide the name of the last owner that purchased the property but they do not provide that information anymore. Miss that part! Zillow has data on 92 million homes across the U.S., not just those homes currently for sale. Not only does it give the value estimates of homes but it offers several features including value changes of each home in a given time frame, aerial views of homes, and prices of comparable homes in the area. Where it can access appropriate public data, it also provides basic information on a given home, such as square footage and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Users can also get current estimates of homes, if there was a significant change made, such as a recently remodeled kitchen. Zillow provides an application programming interface (API) and developer support network.
As of 2006, Zillow launched three new pieces of functionality which allows users to post homes for sale and set a "Make Me Move" price. Then in 2007, Zillow teamed with Microsoft to offer Bird's Eye View, a feature in Microsoft Virtual Earth that shows clearer aerial photographs in some areas that are taken from airplanes rather than conventional satellite imagery. Zillow uses this functionality for entertainment focused features on famous homes.
Zillow reports on individual units, such as providing street address, latitude and longitude. When integrated with the features of a typical online reverse telephone directory and wiki-mapping services, such a Wikimapia.

I checked out this site because I know my parents just got their house appraised so I wanted to see if it was the same as we heard. It was actually much lower on the website, compared to what we heard back from the realators proably because of updates and such but it gives an approximate price for so many houses. I thought it was funny that you could just look up anyone's address and see how much their house is worth.
Below are comments from recent visitors to my suggested web application. As you can see it is truly a great place to visit!

I went and checked that site out on your recommendation and found it to be very informative. Looking to move in the next two years or so I will be looking at this more an more time goes by.
