Ugh, that’s terrible! It barely works with the mouse control and looks like crap. Why didn’t they just use something that looks good like Google Maps instead? This is even worse than Virtual Earth!

I agree with the other two comments - this is just flash and not Ajax. If you want to see this app idea running an Ajax app with housing links then look at http://www.ononemap.com Best example of an API mashup in this genre.

Yeah yeah yeah, brag all you want about it being flash and not ajax. You at least have decent map material to choose from.
