River Levels, Flood Stage & Flood Forecasts

Weather Underground sent us a link to the WunderMap mashup showing river levels, flood stages and forecasted flood zones. It's a nice app that shows flow rates, flood stage level (%), and a link to the information source.

Podcast: Who is #1 in GIS...and Does it Really Matter?

Who's #1 in GIS? How big is the GIS market? Is the impact of Google affecting the sales of GIS vendors? These questions are asked all the time and the answer is...nobody really knows.
