Google Fusion Tables
Posted by Dr. Laura Guertin
Google Fusion Tables is completely new to me, yet seems to have alot of power and alot of potential. With geolocated data, a user can upload the information (as a KML or Excel file, for example) and generate maps that can be shared with and used/modified by others. I need to look into this some more… and spend some time reviewing the blog of Mano Marks.
