   Is any of this related to Chartbeats USP of it being real time? Sounds like any analytic package would show you which areas are receiving the most traffic in a time period. It isn't like seeing trends now is different to seeing trends in

    "I do not have any other possession than what fits into my two suitcases" ... "Wherever my 30 inch monitor is, i call home" isn't that a little counter intuitive? you're hardly portable.
