Moving from East Coast to West Coast

Boxes. Loads of them. Online search. Loads of it too. Coz when a girl moves timezones, its not a joyride. My work though, is less Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and more smiling. Why? I’m putting yolink to use for any heavy lifting searching regarding housing, new car and more.

Yolink, the add-on browser search tool - makes search easy on any search engine – google.com, Craigslist.com, hotels.com etc. To quote a fellow equally enamored, it was like “Google and Cntrl+F had a baby”. Let me explain.With a FREE download from yolink.com, I can zoom past gazillion search results. After the usual google results show up, I hit the yolink 'Find' button. It scans and brings back previews of only those results that contain my keywords. And the yolink side displays detailed content based results, for a more informed decision, decreasing search time by 50%.

Like right now, I included more key terms like: ‘porch, view, pool and parking’ into the yolink toolbar for craigslist, San Jose housing results. ‘Enter.’ There, I just narrowed down my search from 42 to 9 results. Hallelujah.

For any remaining yolink atheists, I’ll double-dip into the facts. I have included a video on how it works. Kapish? Feel free to leave comments. ( http://www.yolink.com/yolink/) Currently, I use yolink on these particular tasks.

1) Single bedroom apartment/ studio -not too pricey, good location and safe.
2) New car...scratch that…second-hand car. Insurance. OMG.
3) Lastly, find east-coasters in WC that still support the Red Sox and the Patriots.

In short my Christmas needed one super-efficient Santa. So, I left a free download option for Santa too, along with the milk and cookies this year. Will keep you posted on how the search is going. But need all the help me I can get to pick the right home.

Until later, seek and yolink shall find.

Cheers!
