HomeNav – the online home guide - is a patent-pending interactive homeowners manual and resource guide. It connects members of the home industry to their customers – homeowners. It helps homeowners better understand and take care of one of their biggest investments…their homes. HomeNav's online home inventory tool and resources offer value-add for real estate, insurance and meet the education and documentation needs of the national green home certification programs. HomeNav - an owner’s manual for every home. Customized. Interactive. Easy-to-use.

HomeNav is an owner’s manual for every home and the “back up” for a home – for replacement, for repair and maintenance, for peace of mind. The interactive home inventory tool provides one place, online, to put all of the information about the home - systems, appliances, fixtures and more. It provides the peace of mind of having an online home inventory in case of an emergency ranging from a minor repair to a catastrophic event. The homeowner resource section provides “how to” information, maintenance checklists, product research, green living, and green building/remodeling information. Businesses in the “home” industry use HomeNav to provide a valuable tool – customized with their company branding and information. Great for realtors, insurance companies, builders, remodelers, HVAC contractors and more. Manufacturers, distributors and home service providers showcase their offerings and web links to a focused homeowner audience. Think “Facebook” for homes.

 

 

To see all the photos for an event, a person needs to search for photos across multiple Facebook profiles, Instagram, Flickr, email, and multiple devices. For public events, there is no simple way for people to create shared group photo albums around an event (e.g. concert) or theme (e.g. graffiti). Pixtapes enables Facebook users to easily create group photo albums by providing simple tools to search, solicit, and compile photos across a user’s entire social graph. Users can create digital photo albums and choose artistic templates to capture the spirit of the album/event. Brands, bands, companies, organizations, and other community managers can also use Pixtapes as a way to engage with community members and fans using photos.
