Thats partially how the site came about, we were looking for an easier way to make heatmaps that could: 1. Be made without some large enterprise software solution 2. Could easily be shared on Facebook or a blog with embedding 3. Loaded fast & maintained integrity with zooming

It's a very good idea and I think with the right marketing and some good contacts it could easily take off and become a very valuable resource to many companies
What companies came to mind when you saw the site?
well like i said earlier the first thing that came to my mind was websites like groupon and living social. Also, I think websites like Zappos or Newegg that are well known in certain circles but perhaps not as ubiquitously as they would like could really benefit from your services. For example, I know that in the Newark, NJ airport there are zappos ads in every security bin. I'm sure they would love to see a heatmap of how traffic from that area has changed since they implemented that ad. The heatmaps provide a simple and easy to understand visual aid that can really help explain whether changes have come about.
