We’re excited to introduce some new features for the MN Foreclosure mapper,  we know it may not be convenient to have to visit the website every time to get updates on foreclosures. Now you can subscribe 3 different ways:

• Facebook : Become a fan at http://www.facebook.com/pages/MN-Foreclosure-Maps/133581423328503
• Twitter : Follow us at http://twitter.com/mnforeclosedmap
• RSS Subscriptions : There’s a button on every page depending on the feed that you want to subscribe to.

Each one of these sources will be updated as frequently as the website itself.

FREEING THE DATA

We understand that there might be some folks who want to use the foreclosure data for their own purposes, we think that’s great and our first step in helping you do that that is enabling Excel downloads for every page on the site! Just look for a button that says “Get the Excel file” in the top right corner of any page.

Need to download an excel file for last week’s foreclosures?, download it here, or maybe you need to put together a report for last month’s foreclosures?, easy. Also as a bonus, you get latitude and longitude coordinates with each foreclosed property! This could be extremely useful if you plan on integrating the data into your own mapping application.

We hope you enjoy these new features, we have plans to do some more exciting things with the data in the near future.
