We just launched a neat new mapping feature on StartupIndex.
As more data gets entered by the community, a lot of the entries contain address information. We weren’t really using this in any special ways until Ali really started thinking about a map.
The map is dynamic and thanks to some slick programming, it will auto-cluster elements in order to make things more intuitive as you zoom in and out.
Is it useful? We don’t know yet. We will constantly be trying things on StartupIndex and we will be testing them to see if they are valuable or not. So please, let us know what you think.
Great to see continuous additions to startupnorth and the startupindex. I for one would find it interesting to find out about startups in areas of Canada I am not familiar with. We all seem to live pretty much in our respective backyards so this is a nice way to get out. + I live the fact that it is visual! Keep up the features!

Thanks Leila! Please keep brainstorming any ideas you can think up for us to expose through startupindex — we can use your brain!
