We've received a couple great plugs for Hardtack recently. Make sure and check out these sites:
Hardtack got a nice plug today from SeekingAlpha. In today's article Hardtack was listing as the "Web Site of the Day," which generated us a nice bit of traffic.

Hardtack provides a view into the real-estate inventory available at various levels of the "real estate hierarchy": nationally, regionally, by state, MSA, and at the single-city level. The ability to see the amount of inventory available and the trends in inventory availability has been, before Hardtack, unavailable to the people who need the data the most: home buyers and home sellers.
The Hardtack application demonstrates two of Boomerang's key strengths: the power of the feedlet idea and our ability to create snazzy UIs.
The backend application of Hardtack consists of feedlets that produce a variety of content from some legacy data sources. Whether the data sources are legacy applications, databases, other web resources, flat files, or anything else, feedlets provide a layer of abstraction that expose the data source to any XML-capable system in the environment.
The UI of Hardtack fuses together a variety of data and displays it multiple ways: maps, charts, and in tabular format. The result is (hopefully) a very simple, compelling view into a particular dataset.
Take a look at Hardtack and let us know what you think. Your feedback helps us drive new features!
