Zappos have launched a pretty good little Widget that GEO Maps real time orders from their website with a nice fluid visualization that plots the shipping destination of every signle order live through the Google Maps API. Not only is it a cool widget, it actually helps their to project the success of their business upon their customers. We all know trust plays a huge factor in eCommerce transactions and potential customers seeing this would not only be wowed by the volume of orders through the website across the US, but it would help to present Zappos as a popular & trusted place to be buying shoes online! Check out the site here.
Cool app. I wonder if it would work for sandwiches!
