- linkmandx, on 11/18/2008, -0/+8Coming up next: Super-Targeted Advertising?
- MtheoryX, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5Minority Report style!
- ninjadave, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4I'm a sucker for visualization software.
- Olfster, on 11/18/2008, -0/+3I incorporated something very similar into our system with a map mashup. It is kinda of neat and given the quality of the data could be very useful.
- fuerte, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2Not a new technology, but its cool that it will be available to all those small business that already use Quickbooks.
- ErrorLoading, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Well you need to give someone your address for them to know where you live.
- hmphargh, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1And I thought the picture was another weather banner ad that the poster was too lazy to change.
- breakhappy, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1It's nice to see a geospatial data visualizer that has some analytical capacity...but after playing around with some of the templates they have available, it seems to me to be very limited. You're confined to defaults and the user has no control of how data is presented other than changing colors, symbology and tweeking visuals that are only for display. The user is unable to manipulate the classification and scale of values being mapped, no statistical analysis tools are available for detailed analysis and no spatial relationship seems to exist between overlays and basemaps.
I'm not gonna criticize this anymore because things like this can be fun to play around with and are very simple for anybody to use without any sort of training but, however simplistic it may seem, you can lie with maps as easily as you can lie with statistics or word-play. It's very difficult to validate the integrity of visualizers and in some cases they can be just outright 'wrong'. Things like this can be dangerous in a sense.
If things like this peak your interest though, look into studying GIS (Geographic Information Systems) or just geography in general. You'll get to play with stuff much more fun! =) - TechMike, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Poorly worded article. Seems to say it records the location of the sale as stored on your own hard drive and then pulls public data from the web for regional information (streets, median income, etc.).
- neutronphaser, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1What I mean is, customers give their address to the company, and then the company may be sending these addresses to another company.
- mindmillmedia, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1This is probably the best example of Web GIS that I have ever seen!
- liljay2k, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Don't get it confused with your daily weather radar.
- WillyRogue, on 11/25/2008, -0/+0Really cool feature. http://accountingsoftwaredeals.com/
- neutronphaser, on 11/18/2008, -1/+1I hope it does not violate any privacy for customers.
- freewaregallery, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0Very interesting! Thanks
- jleavitt, on 11/18/2008, -0/+0This is a baseline free app. Small businesses have never had such functionality available at all, so this is a huge step forward. A SMB could never afford a GIS system, and this gives them unprecedented insight into their customer data.
