Since Rentometer.com went live in early October 2006, we have been overwhelmed by the media and public interest in our little mashup. We have been covered on newscasts and radio shows nationwide, including FoxNews, MSNBC, and ABC News, highlighted in publications such as USA Today, PCMag, Wired, and Reason, and discussed and dissected by hundreds of bloggers around the world, including O'Reilly Radar, LifeHacker.

We wanted to share all the wonderful feedback we have received, so you will find some highlights below. Thanks to everyone that has used our service and/or written about it, we really appreciate it!
