Danny Moon at UpNext writes on the UpNext blog about the company’s inclusion in the 2007 ‘Crunchies’ (sponsored by GigaOm, Read/WriteWeb, VentureBeat and Techcrunch) for best Bootstrapped Startup.
As with WeoGeo and their inclusion in the Amazon Web Services Challenge, this is a good opportunity to vote for a geospatial startup in a ‘mainstream’ contest. If you’re not familiar with UpNext, you can get more information about their 3D immersion experience here. I was fortunate enough to interview these guys a few months back–read the interview here.
Help get the word out–post a link to the Crunchies voting page on your blog or email your fellow geo colleagues/friends!

Moving along with my little series, I now offer up my fourth post on making GIS ’sticky.’ In case you missed the first three installments:
In my last post, I discussed the idea of advocating GIS to the public with the underlying goal of total saturation in terms of people’s understanding of GIS and its benefits. Hmmm, yes, in fact, taking the Wal-Mart approach to GIS. Okay, not really. [Read more…]

No, not this kind of shindig…
A new type of Shindig.
Google has just released Shindig, “a new project in the Apache Software Foundation’s incubator (as per the formal proposal) that aims to provide an open source reference implementation of the entire OpenSocial stack — Shindig’s goal is to allow new sites to start hosting social apps in well under an hour’s worth of work.” You read that right, in well under one hour’s worth of work.
Apparently, today’s commit (into the SVN) is the first step towards that implementation; it includes a reference server and sample code that lets anyone add a few lines of JavaScript to a web page and display arbitrary gadgets.
Will be interesting to see what cool geo gadgets get incorporated into OpenSocial via Shindig. Will post more once I wrap my little reptilian brain around it…
