We managed to survive the holiday break - which meant digging out of three Colorado blizzards for me. On the upside the skiing was awesome. While I was hiding in 15 foot snow drifts the dev folks here were busy building out GeoCommons - our data repository social network designer mutt. There was an informal naming contest and GeoCommons best epitomized what we are making a run at, although I really liked Where-dat.com for pure entertainment value.

We are starting internal testing and looking for early adopters that would like to join in the fun. If you have geographic data you would like share and mashup up with our data and others we’d love to hear from you. We’ll have the social network functionality going and you’ll be able to upload and download data from GeoCommons. In addition you’ll be able to take your data and anyone else’s in GeoCommons and make a mashup with our heat map action as well. So, please join the party - right now all the profile pictures are of Minh, and while he is a damn good looking individual we need some variety.  Just drop us a line at info@fortiusone.com if you are interested.
