Mashup

A Mashup is a web application that two or more services together to create a new service.

I have found a Mashup called Visitor Map Gadget.  It uses Clicky Web Analytics to gather information on the users that visit your site.  It then displays your visitors' location(s) on a Google Map with various information about their location and surrounding area, including images and the date/time of their visit.

I feel that this would be a neat addition to company's website for visitors to view, and also a good tool for the company to use to see where geographically visitors are from.  Marketing campaigns can then be created for specific areas with higher visitor rates.

Here is a link to the Mashup:

Introduction

My name is Ryan Campbell.  I am a Marketer currently working on a project for Campbell's Custom Computers.  My client wants to move their business online to take orders from around the country.  As a Marketer, my job is to create a marketing campaign that is relevant to the company and that also allows me to track how well the campaign is doing in terms of referrals and new clients.  In doing this, business for Campbell's Custom Computers will grow exponentially.
