We're excited when we're able to add such dynamic applications to our site, making the Roomster product even better and more useful to our customer base.

Members of Roomster have had great success because of the added flexibility to express themselves by not only posting pictures, but testimonials from friends, listing hobbies, interests and asking personal questions on profile pages. Users can easily communicate with other members by utilizing a proprietary messaging system and now can locate all listings on embedded Google maps.

"Mapping is a feature that our members come to expect from a site like Roomster and it's obvious that it's a very useful tool when relocating." said Roman Zaks, CTO of Roomster. He further explained "Our technical team made a lot of changes mostly in the site's layout, overlaying Google's product in combination with our data was pretty painless due to the extremely well executed Google API and well architect-ed Roomster platform. We look forward to integrating future Google products into Roomster.

Roomster.net is an online apartment renting, roommate matching community that operates in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. It was founded in 2003 by John S. Shriber and Roman Zaks as a New York corporation. There are approximately 1,000,000 active profiles. Roomster Corp is staffed by a small dedicated team.
