Online free Flat File Data Extractor tool can be used for reading different flat file structures and displaying them in different formats. The main areas of use are; extracting particular fields or records from a flat file; converting data from one format to another, e.g. from fixed length to CSV, XML, Excel; verifying a flat file structure; as a testing tool for flat file development; and displaying flat file content in human readable form. There are several reasons for the end user to export data from an application into an Excel compatible format (mostly for further analysis/usage or data).

An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups.
Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination. Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page. Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup. Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries. Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.

Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big. Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check Wikipedia's definition, but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always, this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here. (An API? Also at Wikipedia.) Some recent press may also help explain: BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate", The Economist's "Mashing the Web". Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization. What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly. I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist. Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others. UI Issues: Cross-browser support is good but not complete. Sometimes it can b

Allows you to view the location of Flickr photos and GPS tracks. It will also allow you to geotag your Flickr photos and upload your own GPS tracks. The "yuan" command searches the maps for an address. It defaults to load Flickr photos, but you can add "-service gps" to load GPS tracks. Optionally, the zoom level can be set using "-z". Zoom options are from 1 (the whole world) to 19 (street level).

What About Yelp? In today's internet-dominated world, online reviews have become an integral part of our decision-making process, whether it's choosing a restaurant, booking a hotel, or buying a product. Among the many platforms available, Yelp has emerged as a popular and influential website when it comes to sharing customer experiences and opinions. With millions of reviews covering various businesses, Yelp has amassed a considerable user base, making it a valuable resource for consumers and businesses alike. However, like any other platform, Yelp is not without its controversies and challenges. Over the years, several concerns have been raised regarding the legitimacy and reliability of Yelp reviews. This raises the question: What about Yelp? One significant concern is the authenticity of reviews on the platform. As Yelp's popularity grew, so did the temptation for businesses to manipulate their ratings by posting fake reviews or soliciting positive reviews from friends, family, or even paying for them. This unethical practice not only misleads consumers but also undermines the credibility and usefulness of Yelp as a reliable source of information. To address this issue, Yelp has implemented various measures to combat fake reviews. They use sophisticated algorithms and automated systems to filter out suspicious content, including reviews that may be biased, suspicious, or posted by the same IP address. Additionally, they encourage users to report fraudulent reviews and have a team of human moderators who manually review flagged content. Despite these efforts, it remains challenging to completely eliminate fake reviews, as some may still slip through the cracks. Another concern related to Yelp is the impact that negative reviews can have on businesses. While negative reviews can alert consumers to potential issues or problems, they can also harm a business's online reputation and ultimately affect their success. Some businesses have accused Yelp of ext
