Adena Schutzberg, Executive, Director of Directions Magazine, has a nice article on the Location Intelligence Conference that mentions WeoGeo and Paul:
Location Intelligence 2007 Takeaways – Articles:
WeoGeo has a different twist on making money from datasets. Paul Bissett, the CEO, is implementing a soon-to-be-launched marketplace for data that will ensure the owner payment for them and for products built upon them. Or as he describes it on his blog: “a B2B portal and server solution to rapidly deliver mapping products to end user customers.” What platform underlies that effort? Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services. In fact, if I follow it correctly, WeoGeo, the company, built the platform WeoCEO which enables the WeoGeo Server. It’s that technology which powers the soon-to-be available B2B portal. I’ll go out on a limb here and note that Bissett reminds me of John Frank of MetaCarta and further, this solution has the potential, similar to MetaCarta, of turning a bit of the world of geo on its head.
