Good data

Again, following from both my Ignite! talk, and from my post on driving from Boston to NYC, we’ve put together a front page for holmz’s Fuelly spider that shows off what holmz has learned from Fuelly users ever since we’ve turned it on.

In case you’re wondering how homlz figures out how many “average US homes” that amount of power is, we grabbed our data from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy site.  Since we turned on the spider, Fuelly users have used the amount of power a small villlage of US homes would use.

I gave an Ignite! presentation on holmz at Ignite NYC II last night!  For those of you who don’t know, Ignite! presentations comprise 20 slides that are automatically advanced every 15 seconds - my slides conspicuously are absent of text, but I stuck them up on Slideshare anyway.

Once the video is posted, I’ll put a link up to that too.
