[AccessD] Google Fusion Tables

This looks really neat. Being able to share or protect organized or
disorganized data with anyone on the web or can connect to the web. The
system will sort/group data anyway you want and allow it to summarized,
modified or retrieved.

The only limitations are on how much data the system will allow. 100MB to a
dataset and up to a maximum of 250MB... Now if this read GBs instead of MBs
it would be ready for primetime. ;-)

I guess if the size was too large people would just start using it as data
storage.

But I will be doing some testing... definitely.

Hi all

Jim posted some interesting links about new software.
Here's another which is all about databases or rather tables:

See the data on a map or as a chart immediately. Columns with locations are
interpreted automatically, and you can adjust them directly on a map if
necessary.

It's an early beta and I don't know of an API for it but form some tasks it
could prove quite useful.
