On October 1, 2008 I received an e-mail announcement from FortiusOne announcing the launch of Maker!, the second application of their next generation GeoCommons.   Here is a link to a press release, the Maker web site, and their blog titled Off the Map.

A few highlights:

“Maker! is an easy-to-use browser-based application enabling you to create cartographically accurate maps using your own data or GeoCommons open data.”

“Create Actionable Maps In 5 Minutes
Maker streamlines the best of GIS into a quick and easy workflow.”

“No Experience Required
Maker! makes the tough statistical and cartographic decisions for you.
Anyone can build complex, data-rich maps.”

“Professional Cartography
Style your map with shaded thematics, proportional symbols, graduated
icons, points, lines and polygons.”
