[Sigia-l] KartOO Search Engine (mapping)

[Andrew]

Hi Dave,

A colleague showed me kartoo a couple of months back - at the time I 
thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen :) The "bigger is better" 
(i.e. more relevant) data representation is also used nicely on 
http://www.smartmoney.com/marketmap/

I wish I had a legitimate work-related excuse to create something like 
them. It strikes me as being a very trainable thing.

Cheers, Andrew
