I’m sure most of you know Facebook, one of the largest social networks in the world. And you probably know too, a few weeks ago they allow everyone to create applications that can be used by all Facebook users and shared with friends.

We loved Facebook’s new feature and decided to create a Trovit application for all our Facebook users, which allows you to search for homes, jobs or cars in any of the countries where we’re present (currently six, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Portugal) and in any of the six languages available (is this the first multi-language application for Facebook?)

Also, your last searches on the Trovit application will be shown on your profile in Facebook. This has several advantages, as for example:

- If you are looking for a job in marketing in London, someone in your Facebook network might see that you’re searching for that kind of job and can put you in contact with someone else who is looking for a person with your profile.

- If you are looking for a given make and model of car, someone on your network might see what you’re looking for and know who has it for you.

Take a look at the following screenshot of the Trovit application running in Facebook:

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

This week we have launched myTrovit, which allows you to save your favorite searches and ads and access them from any computer. You will also be able to add notes to the ads you have saved: for example, you can write the time and date when you are going to visit one appartment you’re interested in, or how the interview for the job you want went.

When you login in myTrovit, you will also be able to define the number of ads you want to see in each results page and your preference for opening ads in new window or the same window.

If you want to try myTrovit, just go to any of the Trovit sites ( homes in the UK, voitures en France, lavoro a Italia,…) and follow the myTrovit link on the top-right part of the page.

If you use Google Earth (and if you don’t you should check it out, you’ll be amazed by it) you can now get your Trovit Homes search results in Google Earth.

To get your homes for rent or for sale in Google Earth you only have to type a search on Trovit Homes and on the top-right part of the search results page you will see a new icon with the shape of a blue ball. You just have to click on that icon and Google Earth will open (if you have it installed on your computer, of course) and will show you the homes for rent or for sale that match your search.

Needless to say, if you don’t use Google Earth you can also find your home in Trovit’s maps or use any of the other options we offer, like RSS alerts, email alerts or even instant messenger alerts.

We hope you enjoy this new feature!

If you are one of the many users of Netvibes, we have created a new module that will allow you to search on Trovit from your personalized Netvibes home page.

Once you have added the module to your home page, you only have to select your country, the type of ad you want to search (jobs, homes for rent, homes for sale or used cars), type a search query and you will instantly see the latest ads that match your query, just like the following screenshot.

If you want to add this module to your home page, you can go to the module’s page on Netvibes or you can simply click on the following button:
