While this is surely a growing piece of the 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle that is Enterprise Content Management, there's not necessarily a practical business application for the geo-web in your enterprise. Don't be too quick to be dazzled by the demo; after all, do you really need your CMS to tell you where the local pizza joints are? MetaCarta claims that 74% of documents on the Internet are "geo-relevant," or plottable on a map. Is the same true of the content in your enterprise? Will plotting your documents geographically add value to the experience, or enable you to manage or find content more effectively? Perhaps, but as with any software that may look cool on the surface, be sure to assess your real business needs before you invest.

Your blog indicates that we misstated the presence of the Internet Speed Map as the first map of its kind, citing a later comment made in the release about out Broadband Inventory Map. That is a completely different type of map. Here is the segment of the release I am referring to:

“Connected Tennessee has also released maps that provide a very detailed picture of where broadband does and does not exist across Tennessee. The first Broadband Inventory Map was released on July 27, 2007. Tennessee is only the second state to benefit from such detailed and accurate maps of broadband availability.”

The Broadband Inventory Map is the second of its kind, following the efforts made by the state of Kentucky under the Connect Kentucky initiative. That is a completely different map, which is made clear in the press release.
