April 7, 2008 For fun, we built a heatmap of all of Hillary’s travels as First Lady. Heatmaps are a way to visualize the concentration of things over an area. Povo heatmaps fully integrate with Povo content so you can see any search or even page as a heatmap. Soon, you'll also be able to embed these heatmaps in your blog or personal site. Perhaps it was obvious to you that she went to Europe a lot, but you can also filter and drill down by time or geography to see where she concentrated. And if you have or know of similar information on Obama or McCain, let's try it out. The Hillary page is just a regular Povo page, so you could "import" data like this yourself if you're handy with a scripting tool of your choice. In this case we just created a section for every trip she took. The filtering (tag filter), mapping, and heatmaps come automatically.

June 6, 2008 Did you know there are over 3,500 places (heatmap) to play the lottery in the greater boston area? About 500 of those are convenience stores. It's a bit crazy if you ask me, but you didn't. Povo now has those locations, including which ones have Keno.
