eHub pointed us towards this interesting mapping plugin engine that adapts the rendering of maps by grouping markers in order to generate an ultra fast display for high data volume maps. Well it sounded interesting on eHub and so we went to check it out and in the process we wondered where the site was based but we couldn’t find out that information. When you click Contact Us it just takes you through to a page with a form and no postal address. This happens everywhere - websites that hide or forget to show they live in the real world.
For some web services we’re sure that’s ok but often you want to feel certain that the $99 you’re paying every month in subscription fees is actually going to a company not some kid in his bedroom. And don’t get us started on sites that don’t give telephone numbers….
