I used to hate reading book maps (like the Thomas Guide), but for whatever reason...I love online maps. I love seeing interesting information overlayed on a map. Am I the only one?

During the summer, we had an intern and she strongly suggested that we buy a map for our office. At first, I didn't really care either way. What's the big deal, right? Well, I didn't realize what a big impact a map could make. After putting up the wall size map of the US/Canada, my whole perspective and feeling changes when I walk into the office. I can't explain exactly why...but something definitely happens inside of me when I look at the map every day.

With my fascination and love for maps, we plan on offering a very cool and valuable search tool on Zoodango. You will be able to do some interesting similarity search queries with the user interface of a map.

Not only do we want to help you find cool places to hang out with your friends.....but we can offer even more creative solutions. For example, how cool would it be to see a map of where all the lawyers in town have lunch? You wouldn't be able to see the actual individuals for privacy reasons, but it would be cool to see the data as an aggregate. You'd be able to search for almost anything....who is like me, and where do these types hang out? I'm a CEO...where do other CEO's have dinner? How about car fanatics...where do they hang out?

Just some interesting stuff that you will be able to do on Zoodango...coming very soon.
