Just How Noisy Is it? HowLoud Aims to Map the Universe of Noise

When Brendan Farrell moved from one apartment to another in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, the Caltech applied mathematician was dismayed to find that his new home was a lot noisier than he expected due to a 24-hour car wash down the street.

UpNest Says When Agents Compete, You Win. But is it Good for Agents?

Placester Kicks Out Options and Plugins

Placester Kicks Out Options and Plugins

Placester says you can set up a new site in about five minutes using its new site creation user interface. That's because it's kicked about a million options off its platform.
