AT&T U-verse - Yahoo Maps API
February 27th, 2009 | API integration | Redmond | web development | Yahoo Maps
Leveraging the Yahoo Maps API we created a zip code look up tool to analyze AT&T U-verse coverage for individuals. Because we needed full zip codes (i.e. 98101-3232), and most people do not know their zip+4, we used the Yahoo API to have it normalize the address. This allowed us to effectively guage coverage at a smaller fidelity.
The service is only available to internal teams however we would be more than happy to show a demo in person.
Media Center Gadget - Vista gadget development
January 3rd, 2009 | analytics | entertainment | Redmond | Vista gadget development | web development
We developed a new Vista gadget that connects to a live feed and calculates a real-time count of how many unique users are using Windows™ Media Center. The gadget acts as a counter for the internal team to monitor subscriptions and their product’s use.
In addition we implemented a flyout that provides additional statistics for the team to access at any time from the gadget itself.
Connected TV Films - web development and API integration
September 10th, 2008 | API integration | entertainment | Flash development | MSN Soapbox | Redmond
We leveraged our web development experience and previous work with Google APIs to create a multimedia rich site that integrates directly with MSN Soapbox. Similar to Google’s YouTube, Soapbox allows a suite of services available through their API allowing us to manage the videos and stream them from the MSN site and take advantage of commenting and rating the videos on our site as well as theirs. In addition, it implements the Windows Live authentication service.
We worked together with Pixelube and their design team to create a multimedia rich experience for the user.
