“Neglected” would be an understatement in this case. Though I launched Freally in mid-2010, it was left to itself without much improvement over the years. Well, I finally went off my butt and did something about it and I am happy to announce that it’s nearly time for the re-launch. I cannot wait! And hopefully this time, I will learn from my mistakes and try to take a better care for it.
Dear Eric,
I have been following your profile on ProgrammableWeb and I must say you are a major force in the building of great mashups using a variety of APIs. I am trying to implement a mashup using Facebook Graph (Check-in in particular) , Google Maps and Twitter. I need to map location check-in onto a map in a heat-map kind of way as shown on the small map on Freally.com. Any advice you can give a first-timer like me?
Hi Raymond.
Thanks for your kind words. Speaking of heatmaps, I was searching for the right plugins the other week! I haven’t really tried them myself, but here are two plugins I’ve looked at.

I’m definitely going to try these in the next few days. Let me know how you go!!
