Hejorama

This post is in french as keltoa.com is a french website…

Comme il n’y a pas que Hejorama dans la vie, j’aimerais vous faire connaitre keltoa.com. Notre attention a été attiré sur keltoa car ils ont laissé un très sympathique post sur leur blog à propos de Hejorama. Et comme nous avons bien aimé leur site, il nous parait tout naturel d’en faire de même !

Keltoa est un réseau social centré sur le thème de l’immobilier mais va plus loin que le simple repertoire de petites annonces. En utilisant les outils classiques web 2.0, le site propose plusieurs rubriques en plus des annonces immobilieres. En particulier une “encyclopédie” reposant sur un wiki, une véritable communauté et un “explorateur de quartier“. C’est surtout ce dernier outil qui m’a particulièrement séduit car il est totalement inédit à ma connaissance. L’idée de base étant de pouvoir découvrir un quartier avant d’envisager d’y habiter. C’est à dire vérifier la présence de commerce, etc… Techniquement l’intégration de google maps est assez impressionnante et le design très réussi. Je me vois bien utiliser ce genre d’outil lorsque je chercherais à déménager.

Keltoa est un site encore tout jeune et comme Hejorama son succès dependra en grande partie de sa capacité à attirer du monde pour avoir un maximum de contenu et donc attirer encore plus de monde. J’invite donc tous les Hejies a aller y faire un tour et voir s’il trouve l’appartement de leur rêves

Nous leur souhaitons beaucoup de succès !

Hi all,

two days ago a small news was posted on 20minutes.ch to give a link to Hejorama.com. That’s really nice of you guys ! It’s funny to see that most articles on Hejorama were on Belgian and Swiss websites. We love that !

The Hejorama team is proud to announce the release of our brand new system of picture upload. As of now, you can upload multiple pictures at a time. And we have modified the whole system so that you can add pictures directly to the chronicles, not only to a destination. It means that if you have 2 chronicles for one destination, you can now have two sets of pictures. We hope you’ll like that !

Check how it looks great :

As you can see, now you have a tab that allows you to upload pictures at the same time you write your chronicle.

The page is divided in 2 sections : the upper part is designed to let you upload multiple pictures. Then you can manage the pictures appearing in the section below.

You can now edit the picture title, the tags and even rotate the pictures. We hope you’ll like all these improvement.

Thanks to Eric Dupin, the owner of the very popular blog presse-citron.net, who included a link to Hejorama in one of his posts. It’s good to see, that not all the bloggers are only interested by millions $$ funded start ups…

Hejorama won its first award today !Auditoweb.fr has announced today the winner for the French Golden Web award. We won in the second category : best travel social network. Thanks to all the people who voted for us. It’s definitely a great source of motivation for us.

It’s been quite a long time since the last post… Here’s the reason why :

We have totally redesigned the search page and now it really looks great !! We are pretty proud of this update and we hope you’ll like it.

And there will be some improvement soon, so stay tuned !

We wish you a happy new year 2008 !! More news when we’ll recover from the new year’s eve…

Hello,

the two last week have been really busy and we hadn’t much time to work on the website. But we’ve finished our secret project and it will be released soon. Meanwhile, we have started working a improvements for picture uploading system. We’ll try to make it easier to upload several pictures at once and managing them.

On Facebook, the Hejorama group is growing (faster than the site actually) and we’ve started a few topics. So, if you’re on facebook, join us and meet the “facebooking hejie” community.

Hello,

we’ve finally added a feature that was requested by so many hejies : a draft mode ! So from now on, you can start writing a chronicle and finish it later. To do that you just have to uncheck a box that make your chronicle visible/invisible. Just click on the screenshot below for a preview.

We have also fixed a few bugs. But for great new features you’ll have to wait a little as we are currently working on a secret project. It will be revealed soon, so stay tuned
